Bardolino Superiore D.O.C.G.
Podere Monte Maggiore
Bardolino Superiore d.o.c.g., denomination of controlled and guaranteed origin, is the emblem of the wine estate: “pride in traditions and the courage to renovate”. We have selected a particularly suited micro-area, we have limited the grape-hectare and grape-wine yield, we have followed a different vinification and ageing method to give life to a rich wine, with a full-bodied structure to stand the passing of time without loosing its distinguishing gentle and fruity features deriving from the grapes of local varietals.
