Freshness, the right amount of acidity, delicate but well defined perfumes, this is the portrait of SPUMANTE GARDA ROSE’ “BESPOI” D.O.P. - Podere Dei Folli, Garda DOC rosé sparkling wine by Podere dei Folli. The last one is an organic agricultural company that is specialized in the production of Lake Garda gastronomic excellences, among which it’s impossible to forget wine. From the great tradition of rosé wines typical of the areas adjacent to Lake Garda, among which certainly the Chiaretto (which is produced by this winery too), starting from the local vine variety par excellence as the Groppello is born a lively organic rosé sparkling wine, as its copper color, almost tending to orange, with floral aromas, while at the palate it is quite dry, fresh favoring the drinkability without boring the palate.

When it comes to Garda white wines, the thought, as a normal consequence, moves immediately to the #Lugana, a great typical wine from the southern shore. But today we’re talking about Serai Bianco Veronese IGT - Le Morette, a cuvée of the wine cellar Le Morette, and what’s better than an exclusive cuvée to represent a wine cellar? An assembly including the local vine variety Turbiana and two international as Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay, the result at the sight is a straw yellow with green shades, at the nose the main aromas tend to flowers and tropical fruit. It is at the palate where the Serai Bianco gives its distinctive trait: freshness and great acidity side a light pleasant hot sensation that exalt all the aromas.

Podere dei Folli is a familiar conduced agricultural company at the fourth generation now, placed in the Valtènesi area, adjacent to the Brescia shore of Lake of Garda. The changes have been many and different, thanks to the dedication to research and innovations during the years brought to the company production, but the authenticity of the flavors has remained the lowest common denominator. The choice has been focalizing uniquely on BIO DOP certified products, with the aim of offering truly genuine, natural, healthy, good DOP lake of Garda wines and evo oil without the use of any chemical additive. When I first tried the Sofaì Valtènesi D.O.P. organic wine - Podere dei Folli, it immediately brought my mind back to its native territory, thanks to the prevalence of the local vine variety groppello: the main aromas are red fruits with a lightly spices notes, at the palate it is soft, velvety , with a well balanced tannin by the 12 months in barrique and a light almond aftertaste.

The Chiaretto is a rosé wine rigorously produced in the Lake of Garda area. Once considered a waste of the red wine vinification, this kind of wine has been acquiring more and more importance with the passing of the years, improving itself and acquiring precise qualitative characteristics and identity. The result is a wine with strong chromatic tones, a great acidity and overall more near to a red than a white wine. The Valtènesi Chiaretto D.O.P. “Preaféte” BIO organic - Podere dei Folli is a product that expresses all the tradition, but also the progressive research for innovation during the years, linked to the Chiaretto vinification. Made up of Groppello ( a local vine variety), it has the typical strong cerasuol pink color, feeling floral and fruity aromas. At the palate stands out the typical sapidity of rosé, paired with a light almond final aftertaste.
