WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Tommasi Bardolino Chiaretto involves gentle pressing of the grapes followed by a short maceration period on the skins, typically lasting 12 to 24 hours, to achieve the characteristic pale pink color and delicate aromas. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures to preserve freshness. The wine is then often aged briefly in steel vats before bottling, a process designed to maintain its vibrant and light character.
