It is undeniable that in recent years, climate change has pushed wines, especially reds, towards rather high alcohol levels.
Therefore, being able to produce a red under 13% has become almost a miracle.
The magic of Pradicà, Corte Gardoni's Bardolino Superiore, lies right here: a wine with 12.5% alcohol but with good body and great taste.
The mitigating effect of Lake Garda surely plays a role, but so does the winemaker's meticulous attention to harvesting the grapes at the right time without waiting a single day more, thus achieving full phenolic ripeness without excessive sugars.
Pradicà is a blend of Corvina and Rondinella, typical Verona grapes, with a small surprising addition of Sangiovese.
The maturation takes place in 3000-liter wooden barrels.
We have a red with beautiful fresh and stimulating aromas, from cherry to mushrooms with a considerable spicy hint.
Round on the palate with a pleasant taste of dried fruit and controlled tannins.
Excellent persistence.
PAIRINGS: given its medium structure, it is recommended to pair it with white poultry, lean meats, and not too aged cheeses.
