The best cluster of Molinara, Corvina and Rondinella are choose to produce a “Ripasso” Rose. You may ask yourself: a “Ripasso Rosé”?
Those clusters are fermented with no skin contact then affination in cement vat until mid-January. Now when the fermentation for the Amarone production is done and the must is released, the winemaker flush trough those left-over Amarone skin the wine to produce a Bardolino Chiaretto Rose Superiore, that we can consider, no doubt, a spring version of Amarone. The wine will have a pink salmon color with an incredible fresh an minerality complexity.
