Less than a mile from the beautiful southern shoreline of lake Garda, Le Morette derives its name from a local duck, sacred to the ancient Etruscans, still protected, and highly regarded today. The family’s expertise with the unique glacial soils around lake Garda helps exemplify the flavor and character of their native varieties. Fabio and his brother Paolo are creating some of the most compelling examples of these native grapes with organic practices.
Light bodied with low tannin, this delicate red wine is a blend of the classic Bardolino blend with majority Corvina which adds the earthy, black pepper notes complementing tart red fruits of strawberry, cherry, and pomegranate. This Classic expression from Bardolino is perfect with a little chill and offers a hint of blood orange in an energetic finish.
