which we personally recommend
Another of our perennial favourites that we can always rely on to be consistent in quality. This is a wine you will want to be serving during the holidays. An exceptional value for the quality of the wine. From the northern wine region of Veneto.
These native Veronese Valpolicella vineyards give birth to the Bardolino DOC Monte del Frà, a crisp wine perfumed with fruity and floral notes. On the south of the classic Bardolino area, in the sub zone Sommacampagna, an old vineyard with outstanding characteristics offers a unique chance to create elegant yet easy-drinking wines with a special touch. That is thanks to a particular vinification that enhances the crispness and the stye’s typical nature.
Monte Del Frà Bardolino
The Bardolino DOC Monte del Frà is an award-winning classic of such a distinct personality to easily stand comparison with more intense wines like the Valpolicella Classico. Red fruits, cloves, and black pepper dominate the complex ad intense bouquet while lightness and acidity delight your palate.
