    Winemaker Notes

    Chiaretto is the most famous name for rosé wines in Italy and can only be made from the Bardolino zone bordering beautiful Lake Garda in the Veneto region of northern Italy. The ‘lake effect’ makes the Corvina and Rondinella grapes more fruity, and perfect for the production of rose. A dry rose wine that has aromas and flavors that are fruity, fragrant and delicate with hints of peach-blossom.

    Marchesini, Italy
    Azienda Marchesini Marcello is a small family-owned winery, located in the heart of the Bardolino district overlooking beautiful Lake Garda.

    It all started at the beginning of 1950’s, when Plinio Marchesini, a farmer’s son with a great passion for the land, farming, and in particular the vines, started to produce a small amount of wine to enjoy with his friends. The dedication, determination, and love that he put into his new passion quickly fueled a viable wine-making venture and thus created a new business trade. His wines quickly became renowned throughout Northern Italy.

    The importance of keeping a genuine and very high quality wine was passed on to Plinio’s son Marcello, who began working at his father’s side in the 1990’s. The goal was to learn, follow and enlarge the family’s already thriving business. Today, Marchesini’s Bardolino wines are sold internationally.

    Whether it’s playful and fun or savory and serious, most rosé today is not your grandmother’s White Zinfandel, though that category remains strong. Pink wine has recently become quite trendy, and this time around it’s commonly quite dry. Since the pigment in red wines comes from keeping fermenting juice in contact with the grape skins for an extended period, it follows that a pink wine can be made using just a brief period of skin contact—usually just a couple of days. The resulting color depends on grape variety and winemaking style, ranging from pale salmon to deep magenta.

    Producing every style of wine and with great success, the Veneto is one of the most multi-faceted wine regions of Italy.

    Veneto's appellation called Valpolicella (meaning “valley of cellars” in Italian) is a series of north to south valleys and is the source of the region’s best red wine with the same name. Valpolicella—the wine—is juicy, spicy, tart and packed full of red cherry flavors. Corvina makes up the backbone of the blend with Rondinella, Molinara, Croatina and others playing supporting roles. Amarone, a dry red, and Recioto, a sweet wine, follow the same blending patterns but are made from grapes left to dry for a few months before pressing. The drying process results in intense, full-bodied, heady and often, quite cerebral wines.

    Soave, based on the indigenous Garganega grape, is the famous white here—made ultra popular in the 1970s at a time when quantity was more important than quality. Today one can find great values on whites from Soave, making it a perfect choice as an everyday sipper! But the more recent local, increased focus on low yields and high quality winemaking in the original Soave zone, now called Soave Classico, gives the real gems of the area. A fine Soave Classico will exhibit a round palate full of flavors such as ripe pear, yellow peach, melon or orange zest and have smoky and floral aromas and a sapid, fresh, mineral-driven finish.

    Much of Italy’s Pinot grigio hails from the Veneto, where the crisp and refreshing style is easy to maintain; the ultra-popular sparkling wine, Prosecco, comes from here as well.
