Le Fraghe - ‘Ròdon’, Bardolino Chiaretto, Rosé, Italy (2023)

TASTING NOTES

Fragrant notes of roses with wild strawberry and redcurrant. The palate is crisp, savoury along with zesty minerality. The finish is notably lengthy, and nicely mirrors the aromas offered by the nose.

In the hills overlooking the eastern shore of Lago di Garda, this beautiful estate has been farmed by the same family since 1881. Matilde Poggi's first vintage was 1984, when she was 22 years old. Prior to that, her father's grapes were sold to another winery. Corvina & Rondinella are the primary grapes here and Matilde's deft handling shows the refined, elegant, aromatic heights they can achieve.
