Veneto rosés: discreet elegance from the Alps to Lake Garda
Our selection of Veneto rosé wines represents the freshest and most immediate expression of a region with extraordinary territorial variety. From the slopes surrounding Lake Garda to the hills of Valpolicella, Veneto offers ideal conditions for the production of rosé wines of great finesse and elegance. These wines are distinguished by their aromatic delicacy and extraordinary freshness, characteristics that make them perfect ambassadors of the combination of tradition and innovation that distinguishes contemporary Veneto winemaking. The temperate microclimate influenced by the presence of large bodies of water helps to preserve acidity and primary aromas, resulting in rosé wines of extraordinary drinkability.
Bardolino Chiaretto: the pride of Veneto rosé wines
The most representative appellation for Veneto rosé wines is undoubtedly Bardolino Chiaretto, produced on the eastern shores of Lake Garda, mainly from Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes. These wines have a pale pink, almost powdery color and a delicate aromatic profile dominated by notes of small red fruits, cherry, and fresh almond. In recent years, the adoption of more modern winemaking techniques such as direct pressing (the “in rosa” method) has helped to enhance the finesse and elegance of these wines, offering a style closer to Provençal rosés but with a well-defined territorial identity. No less interesting are the rosés made from Pinot Noir grapes in the cooler areas of the region, which offer versions of extraordinary finesse and aromatic complexity.
A rosé for every occasion: from the table to the aperitif
Veneto rosés are the ideal choice for those looking for highly versatile wines that can easily accompany a variety of occasions. Their freshness and low alcohol content make them perfect for summer aperitifs, while their flavor and delicate structure make them ideal companions for lake fish dishes, risottos with spring vegetables, and white meats. Compared to the more structured rosés of southern Italy, Veneto rosés focus on finesse and balance, offering a smooth drink that invites you to have a second glass. The ideal serving temperature is between 44°F and 46°F, to enhance the freshness and aromatic fragrance that distinguishes them, making them the undisputed stars of summer tables and beyond.
