Vineyards on Garda’s eastern shore

Glacial hills, vines and olive trees give Bardolino its lakeside setting.

Bardolino grows among the morainic hills left by glaciers on the eastern side of Lake Garda. The lake moderates the climate, while vineyard slopes share the landscape with olive groves. Corvina and Rondinella are central to the grape base. The denomination also encompasses Chiaretto, giving you more than one way to approach this part of the Veneto wine landscape.
