Capturing a sense of place, the nuances of the dynamics of terrain, rich history and unique attributes are just a few of the things making a wine something to celebrate. In this post as promised I wanted to share a few of the Rose of Bardolino that made an impact on my palate. Hats off to the new generation of Chiaretto Rose !
Each of these wines offer something unique beyond the typical profile of red berries, minerality and freshness.
In no particular order, these are the Chiaretto that come to mind when I am celebrating a Rose playing a leading role. None of the wine I tasted was created as an after thought. An oh well, I have some extra grapes, let’s see if we can make rose. The people of Bardolino and its three distinct zones, Monte Baldo, La Rocca and Sampo Campagna see Rose as key expression of their celebrated terroirs and the variety Corvina.
If you are living life without Chiaretto Rose you are missing an incredible expression of a distinct land, a historic region and an indellible slice of life
In order of appearance
1) Le Fraghe Rodon
2) Casaretti Rose Dei Casaretti
3) Villabella Chairetto di Bardolino DOC Classico
4) Zeni 1870 Chiaretto Bardolino Amphora
5)Villa Cordevigo 2018 Gaudenza
6)Poggio Delle Grazie Chiaretto
7) Gentili Chiaretto
8) Monte Del Fra Chairetto di Bardolino
Speaking of hats. After 12 years, I am rethinking my hat situation. What was once unique is no longer. And with that, I ask you, what should replace The Siren’s typical hat? In the last photo I replaced it albiet temporarily on top of the Mayacamas… What say you?
PS Had to take a break after a broken nose, and popped cap after my Italy excursion. What a long strange trip the last week has been.

A return to Bardolino to celebrate Rosé and its most important variety. Corvina!
A tasting of a weighty magnitude and profiles of exceptional expression. Traditional notes that express this food friendly, titillating palate provocateur of Rosé.
The vintage is showing incredibly well. Due to temperature variation the vintage is showing an increased level of acidity adding to the already exceptional presence of salinity & vibrancy.
The featured tasting of Chiaretto from the subzones of Monte Baldo, La Rocca, and Soma Campagna…
With flavors ranging from crunchy nectarines to red berries and beyond, this is Rosé for a palate that enjoys something beyond poolside fare, diverse in its pairing abilities.
Exceptional. Phenomenal values. Stay tuned for my top 5 recommendations.
More to come!

🍇Almost 1/2 of their 78 hectares are dedicated to Premier Cru and Grand Cru classifications.
🍾William Fevre’s first harvest was in 1959 with just seven hectares and a legacy of descendents who resided in this illustrious region for some 250 years .
🛢The wine is aged in older oak barrels of 6 + yrs. It preserves the expression of freshness of minerality but also highlights the evocative floral notes.
💚* Practicing sustainable growing in its vineyards for nearly 10 years now, Domaine William Fèvre has just obtained “High Environmental Value” (HVE) status, the highest level of environmental certification (February 2015).

Hard to imagine I’d never been to Rombauer. It took an industry event and an invitation from @mvino1 to get me there.
This family-owned @napagreen certified #winery was founded in 1980 by Koerner and Joan Rombauer. They own and sustainable farm over 650 acres of vineyards from Carneros, Stags Leap, Atlas Peak, St Helena, the Sierra Foothills and of course Calistoga.
I was pretty blown away by what I experienced. From their flagship Chardonnay, served from a nine liter Salmanazar to the Carneros-grown Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc, delicious sips were everywhere.
A Napa Valley staple, paired with paella and light bites was a great way to get in on a first time experience here.
Still visible, some burn scars that almost consumed the property from the Glass Fire two years ago. What shook me were both the mind-blowing views and the astute hospitality of every team member on the property. This is a place you must visit. In the name of great wine and indelible experiences.

Thank you to the leadership and team @rombauervineyards
