Let’s talk about Chiaretto Bardolino DOC - Linea I Classici - Zeni

More questions

The Chiaretto Bardolino DOC from Zeni’s Linea I Classici is a rosé of sober, immediate character, intended for everyday drinking. It shows a pale pink colour with a fragrant but discreet bouquet: strawberries and small red fruits combine with meadow flowers and light citrus hints. The aromatic intensity is modest, balanced by a freshness that makes the wine pleasant on the nose without being intrusive.

On the palate it is lean and supple, supported by pleasant acidity and a light saline note that lengthens the finish. The body remains light and the clean texture encourages easy drinking; persistence is appropriate for the style. Ideal for aperitifs and starters, delicate fish dishes, salads and light pasta; also suitable for informal occasions in warm weather. Serve chilled, around 8–10 °C, and consume preferably young to enjoy its freshness.

The winery

Zeni 1870

Veneto (Province of Verona)Italy

Cantina F.lli Zeni 1870 — a historic family winery based in Bardolino (Verona) on Lake Garda; produces wines from the Veronese DOCs, including Custoza DOC.
The story
The winery dates back to 1870. The family story begins with Bartolomeo Zeni; over time the family (notably Gaetano, known as 'Nino') shifted production toward separate vinification of grapes to highlight each origin.
Production philosophy
Philosophy: to valorize terroir and native varieties, vinify grapes from different zones separately, with research and respect for the vineyard. The winery emphasizes grape quality and environmentally respectful, innovative cellar practices.
Terroir and vineyards
Historic headquarters in Bardolino (Province of Verona). Vineyards and grapes come from the main Veronese DOCs listed by the company: Bardolino, Custoza, Lugana, Valpolicella and Soave; there is also an operational cellar in Valpolicella (Fumane). Morainic soils around Lake Garda.
