The term 'Chiaretto' has historical roots dating back to 1806, and the modern designation emphasizes the wine's territorial identity and pale hue.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Le Tende Chiaretto Bardolino Classico 2022 is produced using a rosé vinification method, often referred to as 'in rosa.' This involves minimal pressing of the grape skins, followed by short maceration periods typically lasting 2-4 hours. Fermentation is carried out at controlled temperatures to preserve the wine's freshness. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in stainless steel vats. The grapes are organically grown, with farming practices that exclude synthetic chemicals, herbicides, and glyphosate.
