Bardolino, which is produced in various types, is famous beyond Lake Garda and Italy on the whole: 70 % of the unique red wine from autochthonous grape varieties of Lake Garda are exported.
Of the 16 towns which were awarded the DOC quality assurance label, only six can call their wines “Bardolino Classico DOC” and thus refer to the deep-rooted tradition of wine production: Bardolino, Garda, Lazise, Affi, Costermano and Cavaion Veronese.
Bardolino wine is largely produced from grapes of the Corvina Veronese grape variety. It has a light ruby red colour that tends to garnet after maturation. Its fragrance is vinous, albeit delicate; due to its harmonious, fine and extra dry taste, this wine goes well with many different dishes.
