Zeni "Mr. Lake" Bardolino

A light-bodied, vibrant, and fun-spirited Italian red wine named in honor of Lake Garda, which borders the historic vineyards of the Zeni winery. A budget-friendly blend of Corvina and Rondinella grapes.

Appearance
A translucent, medium-intensity bright ruby red color in the glass, often showing a delicate, pale garnet rim.

Aroma
Highly expressive, fresh, and inviting, the bouquet bursts with aromas of wild strawberry, fresh red cherry, and tart pomegranate. These bright red fruits are layered with elegant floral notes of rose petals, savory wild herbs, and a pinch of white pepper or sweet baking spices.

Palate
Light-to-medium-bodied, juicy, and crisp. Energetic flavors of sour plum, raspberry, and cranberry play against a distinct undercurrent of crushed-rock or wet-stone minerality. It features soft, smooth tannins and an easygoing, lip-smacking acidity that delivers a clean, snappy, and refreshing finish.
