The Lake Garda microclimate which the hilly area above Bardolino enjoys produces Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella grapes at a naturally high level of maturation.
Monte Del Frà`s Bardolino is a light-bodied, vibrant ruby, fruity blend of Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara produced on the eastern side of Lake Garda. Bright aromas of cherry and red berries are well-integrated with spicy hints of cinnamon, cloves and black pepper, which drift beautifully onto the palate.
A refined take on one of Italy’s most beloved wines, the 2023 Bardolino Classico Cuvée XV from Guerrieri Rizzardi is a vibrant and expressive red born from vineyards that overlook the stunning Lake Garda—an alpine landscape infused with Mediterranean charm, long known as the “Riviera degli Olivi.”
Crafted from a meticulous selection of the estate’s best vats, Cuvée XV is vinified with an unwavering focus on preserving fruit purity and freshness. Grapes from the surrounding Bardolino Classico vineyards reach the winery, carved into the hillside of Campazzi, within minutes of harvest. The juice is then gently gravity-fed into tanks to retain its vibrancy and aromatics.
In the glass, it displays an aromatic nose of wild berries, red currants, and subtle floral hints. The palate is light to medium-bodied, with bright acidity, soft tannins, and a silky texture. While remaining true to the easy-drinking nature of Bardolino, Cuvée XV offers more depth and concentration than is typical for the denomination, delivering complexity without excess weight.
Delicate in colour yet rich in character, KEYA is a vibrant and expressive rosé crafted from selected hillside plots in the villages of Cavaion and Bardolino, on the eastern shores of Lake Garda. A true expression of Chiaretto Classico, it embodies years of careful vineyard selection and stylistic refinement to capture the essence of this unique terroir.
KEYA (inspired by the first syllables of Chi-a-ret-to) is both a tribute to the wine’s roots and a nod to the Venetian heritage of Contessa M.C. Loredan Rizzardi, whose passion and leadership helped shape Guerrieri Rizzardi’s legacy with Bardolino Chiaretto.
On the nose, it opens with floral notes and fresh red berries, followed by a palate that is vivid, fruit-driven, and refreshingly dry, showing excellent energy and purity. The finish is long, clean, and savoury, making it both a charming aperitif and a versatile food companion.
Food Pairing: Perfect with rice and pasta salads, seafood, crustaceans, white meats, and even mildly spiced dishes such as Thai or Indian curries.
Delicate, refined, and delightfully fresh, Fior di Rosa is an extra dry sparkling rosé crafted from red-skinned grapes grown on the sun-kissed hills of Bardolino and Cavaion. Harvested under cool conditions to preserve aromatics and vibrant acidity, this Chiaretto Spumante captures the elegance of its lakeside terroir in every bubble.
The name Fior di Rosa – “rose blossom” – reflects the wine’s floral delicacy and ethereal charm. In the glass, it reveals a pale pink hue, with fine, persistent bubbles. Aromas of fresh red berries mingle with subtle hints of spice and wildflowers, while the palate is lively, fruit-driven, and gently creamy, with a refreshing, crisp finish.
Perfect as an aperitif, Fior di Rosa is equally at home with antipasti, summer salads, or lightly spiced Asian cuisine.
Delara is the flagship red of Guerrieri Rizzardi’s Bardolino portfolio, a CRU-designated wine from Montebaldo that showcases the purest expression of terroir and variety. Sourced from the hillside vineyards around Cavaion, Delara represents the pinnacle of red winemaking within the Bardolino DOC, made with an exceptional 95% Corvina, the highest ever used by the estate, blended with a touch of Rondinella.
In the glass, Delara exhibits a luminous ruby hue reminiscent of fine red Burgundy. Aromatically, it offers an elegant interplay of wild red berries, floral notes, and savoury spice, underpinned by the distinctive fragrance of Corvina grown on the Montebaldo slopes. On the palate, it is refined and vibrant, revealing pure cherry fruit, delicate spice, and a silky tannic structure that speaks to both the variety and its unique location.
Balanced, graceful, and persistent, the 2022 Delara is a benchmark cru Bardolino—a wine that combines intensity with finesse and rewards both immediate enjoyment and short-term ageing.
A wine of heritage and distinction, Munus—Latin for “gift”—is crafted from a meticulous selection of grapes sourced from the finest old parcels of the Rizzardi family’s Bardolino estate. This cuvée, first created in 1982 as a tribute to Contessa Maria Cristina Loredan Rizzardi’s Venetian lineage, is the only red wine from the Bardolino vineyards that is aged in oak, showcasing both tradition and innovation.
The 2022 vintage blends old-vine Corvina with Merlot and Merlot Khorus, yielding a wine of striking depth and character. Aromas of ripe red and black cherries, wild berries, and plum are interwoven with hints of spice, forest floor, and delicate oak. On the palate, it is medium-bodied yet rich, with smooth tannins and a refined structure. The Merlot contributes plushness and colour, while the Corvina offers freshness and elegance. Ageing in oak adds complexity and a subtle, savoury finish.
Elegant, expressive, and versatile, Munus is a testament to the unique character of Bardolino’s terroir and the legacy of the Rizzardi family.
