You ever feel like having a Pinot Noir, but not necessarily a Pinot Noir? Those that get it will get it - sometimes you want a red that is lively, light on its feet, and just an overall easy drinking experience without necessarily resulting in a cherry-bomb. This wine is the answer. Hailing from the Bardolino region in the Veneto, this wine is made up of both Corvina and Rondinella, the two common varietals that make the huge and powerful wines that make Amarone. This wine, however, is the exact opposite of that style - light, fresh, with notes of fresh cranberry, cherries, with notes of white tea and apple skins. I love having this wine almost like a Rose, chilling it before serving. The wines from Le Fraghe always bring me back to my short time hopping around Lake Garda, and if you have never had wine from the region, this is a great place to start.
