BARDOLINO SP 2015 96/100 FACCINO DOCTOR WINE – outstanding price-quality relationship

From Corvina grapes with a small amount of Corvinone and Rondinella; aging in barrique barrels.

Pale but bright ruby red. To the nose, it is intense and very elegant with notes of yellow spices and various types of pepper; just a little bit of wild strawberry and cherry. In the mouth, you can feel a great balance and very fine tannins. The structure is wide and offers an extensive tasting intensity. A graceful finale, though astoundingly complex and elegant.

A great wine.

Part of Garganega grapes ferment in barrique barrels, all the rest in steel; refinement on its lees. A classical straw yellow color with light nuances. To the nose, it is intense and reminds of citrus, a light hydrocarbon note and floral and balsamic hints.
