2024 Tenuta La Ca, Bardolino Classico, ‘Dritto’

Tenuta La Cà is an organic family estate run by brothers Pietro and Aldo Giambenini in the village of Calmasino, located in the heart of the historic Bardolino Classico zone. The vineyards are situated on morainic hills featuring mineral-rich soils of clay, manganese, iron, and calcium, where they grow a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Corvinone. This wine offers a pale, luminous ruby hue with distinct notes of fresh cherry and red currant, delivered with a supple, agile texture and a persistent savory finish. Despite the challenging, rainy growing conditions experienced throughout the 2024 season in the Veneto, the estate’s precise, gravity-fed vinification highlights the fruit’s natural clarity and freshness. This is a vibrant, balanced red that is ready to enjoy tonight, offering a direct and honest expression of its unique lakeside terroir.
