Vine age is up to 36 years old.; Made from selected plots throughout the Bardolino estate, planted in the villages of Cavaion and Bardolino, on the hills of the eastern side of Lake Garda.; Made from the Tacchetto vineyard where the ground rises to the hill of Cavaion. This vineyard with its own particular sandy, clay soil peppered with small stones and its breezy, airy location produces a uniquely fragrant and intense Bardolino.; The grapes are cultivated on several hectares of vineyards on hilly land in the eastern part of the Verona wine area.; The vines in this single vineyard (many are over 25 years old) grow on a steep, rocky, terraced hillside vineyard with perfect south/south-west exposure.; This blend is produced from grapevines located on the cool hillsides around Soligo.; Using mostly the southern parcels in the single vineyard of Pojega and with a high proportion of late ripening Corvinone, all grapes are hand-picked and hand sorted. Pojega is a historic vineyard next to the famous garden of Pojega, bought in 17th Century by the Rizzardi family |
