While the neighboring Valpolicella region gets all the glory, Bardolino has been quietly chugging away at value wines for decades. It was only a matter of time before gold star vinaioli (winegrowers) like Guerrieri Rizzardi began pushing the quality envelope and started making fantastic quality wines in this area. Bolla is bollocks; this will make you want to kiss your fingertips.
Serving Suggestion: Best friends with any charcuterie plate! Tagliatelle or pappardelle w/ “tastasal” a pork ragu. Gnocchi w/ tomato, onions, & Veronese cheese.
