Chiaretto di Bardolino: Italian summer in a glass of rosé

Chiaretto di Bardolino: Italian summer in a glass of rosé

Chiaretto di Bardolino—Italy's most beloved and best-selling rosé—is the ideal wine for the summer season. Renowned for its pale pink color verging on orange, achieved by vinifying Corvina grapes as a rosé, it's excellent as an aperitif after a day at the beach or as a casual aperitif enjoyed with friends.

In the warmer months, Lake Garda rosé is perfect as an aperitif with delicious finger foods and pairs perfectly with summer salads dressed with olive oil and a touch of balsamic vinegar. Try it with the great classics of Italian summer cuisine—such as Caprese salad, prosciutto and melon, rice salad, and beef carpaccio—and it enhances all seafood dishes, including crudités, paella, shellfish, and even sushi.
