The Terroir of Bardolino
Nestled in the Veneto region of northern Italy, Bardolino boasts a unique terroir that contributes to the extraordinary flavors found in Le Fraghe wines. The region's glacial schist soil, which dates back to the Ice Age, imparts a distinctive mineral-rich profile to the grapes. It is here that fragole, or strawberries, thrive, adding a delicate fruitiness to the wines that sets them apart from other rosés. Matilde Poggi recognized the potential of this remarkable terroir and has been harnessing its magic since she began her organic approach to winemaking in 2009.

Matilde Poggi's Organic Winemaking Philosophy
At Le Fraghe, Matilde Poggi adopts an organic and sustainable winemaking philosophy. Her commitment to environmental responsibility and respect for the land is evident in every bottle of Bardolino Classico and Bardolino Chiaretto wine. By eschewing synthetic chemicals and embracing natural practices, she allows the true essence of the vineyards to shine through in each sip. This hands-on approach ensures that only the finest grapes are hand-picked, resulting in wines of exceptional quality.

The Sensory Journey
Le Fraghe's wines are a celebration of simplicity and elegance, crafting wines that focus on the natural fruit flavors and vibrant acidity. The Bardolino Chiaretto (Rosato) is a quintessential benchmark rosé that exudes charm and sophistication. Its light salmon hue allures the eye, while its crisp, refreshing taste dances on the palate. The aroma of fragrant strawberries and delicate florals captures the essence of the region, whisking you away to the sun-kissed vineyards of Bardolino.

The Bardolino Classico, on the other hand, showcases a slightly fuller body and richer fruit profile. Bursting with red berry flavors, it still retains the signature acidity and mineral essence that are hallmarks of Le Fraghe wines. Both wines are carefully vinified in stainless steel, allowing the pure fruit expression to shine through, and resulting in a balanced and harmonious wine.
