Chiaretto Ciaro is a direct-press rosé made from Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grown on the morainic hill of Monte Mamaor in Valeggio sul Mincio, within the Bardolino DOC of the Veneto. The vineyard sits at roughly 200 meters elevation on glacially deposited soils of gravel, quartz, limestone, and clay. "Ciaro" means light color in the local dialect, a nod to the pale, translucent hue produced by pressing the grapes without skin contact.
Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts in fiberglass tank. The wine sees no skin maceration, no fining, no filtration, and no added sulfites or chemical products. At 11% ABV it is one of the lightest expressions of the Chiaretto style, dry and driven by acidity over weight.
The result is a wine with fresh red berry fruit, citrus zest, and a distinct saline minerality that traces directly to the mineral-dense morainic soils around Lake Garda. It drinks like a serious rosé from a producer who treats the appellation as a blank slate rather than a commercial formula.
