Santa Lucia Bardolino Superiore, 2020
Beautifullly balanced, light to medium bodied with inviting freshness, cherries, plums and forest red berries. A great example of what Bardolino DOC is capable of. On the palate is juicy and full of lingering flavor.

Maturation:
1 year in used midsized barrels, slavonic oak
Winemaking process:
From Cavalchina at Custoza, south-east of Lake Garda. The grapes are destemmed and fermented with daily stirring, starting warm and then cooled to about 18-20°C, with malolactic fermentation taking place alongside; the wine then matures in steel. In 1962 Cavalchina became the first winery to label the local white as Custoza.
