Corte Gardoni "Nichesole" Chiaretto di Bardolino Rosé 2025

Chiaretto (meaning “pale” in Italian) is a style of Italian rosé/rosato typical to a few DOCs surrounding Lake Garda. We love Corte Gardoni’s contemporary interpretation of this northern Italian classic; The Nichesole drinks like a pink Vinho Verde. Early pick, plus blocked malo(lactic fermentation), and youthful energy keep this wine bright, tart + slightly effervescent. This freshly landed 2025 rosé is the perfect sipper for this time of year as spring blossoms into summer, bringing the promise of warmer weather and longer days. Call it a porch pounder if you must.
