Bardolino Superiore DOCG - Monte Maggiore - Gorgo 2023

The Bardolino Superiore DOCG "Monte Maggiore" produced by Gorgo winery stands out for its refinement and complexity. This red wine results from a careful selection of grapes grown on the picturesque hills surrounding Lake Garda, a region known for its ideal microclimate that imparts unique characteristics to the grapes.

Monte Maggiore is a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara, typical varieties of the Bardolino area, handpicked to ensure the highest quality. The fermentation follows traditional methods, and the wine is then allowed to mature in oak barrels for a period that helps to intensify its flavors and structure.

Visually, the Bardolino Superiore "Monte Maggiore" displays a ruby red color with garnet reflections that intensify with aging. On the nose, it opens with an elegant and complex bouquet, dominated by notes of cherry, berries, and a light spiciness. In the background, one can sense delicate nuances of vanilla and tobacco, a legacy of its aging in wood.

On the palate, the wine is rich and well-balanced, with fine acidity that supports its freshness and soft yet present tannins. The finish is long and persistent, with an aftertaste that recalls the red fruits and spices perceived on the nose.

The Bardolino Superiore DOCG "Monte Maggiore" is ideal to accompany red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses. Its elegance and complexity also make it perfect for sipping alone, as a contemplative wine.

It is advisable to serve this wine at a temperature of 16-18°C to fully appreciate its organoleptic qualities.
