The 2024 Corte Giara Bardolino DOC is a fresh and vibrant Northern Italian red from Veneto, crafted by the Allegrini family. Made from a classic blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara, it reflects the light, fruit-driven and highly approachable style that defines Bardolino, with a focus on elegance and drinkability.
The nose is bright and aromatic, revealing notes of strawberry, red cherry and red currant, layered with hints of violet, rosehip and subtle peppery spice. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a refreshing, juicy profile and very soft tannins. Flavours of red berries and gentle spice are balanced by lively acidity, leading to a smooth, dry and easy-drinking finish with a delicate savoury lift.
The style is classic Bardolino—light, elegant and versatile—designed for early enjoyment and even suitable for slight chilling, making it ideal for warm-weather drinking.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great-value Italian red for customers looking for something light, fresh and easy to enjoy. Ideal for those who like Pinot Noir or Beaujolais-style wines. This is not a heavy red—it’s about freshness, fruit and versatility. Best served slightly chilled. Drink now. Perfect with pasta, pizza, grilled chicken or casual meals.
