“Here's where fruit takes a back seat to let savory and saline characteristics drive. The structure and presence command attention, while the texture fills the mouth like fine silk. A serious rosé that proves these wines deserve a place at the finest tables.” -Jeff Porter, 94/100+Editor’s Choice, WineEnthusiast
Region: Bardolino, Veneto
Appellation: Chiaretto di Bardolino DOC
Varietal/Blend: 90% Corvina, 10% Rondinella
ABV: 13.5%
Vineyard: Produced from fruit grown in the Ronchilonghi vineyard in the municipality of Affi in Veneto, where 10-year-old vines grow on south-facing slopes at 190 metres above sea level. Guyot-trained vines are planted at a density of 5,000 vines per hectare.
Cellar: The wine undergoes 24 hours of maceration in cement vats followed by spontaneous fermentation. It is aged for 12 months in cement and bottled unfiltered.
CSPC: 149761
Winemakers Note: Matilde on Traccia di Rosa: "a Chiaretto that breaks all the rules. It’s one of the few rosés released after extended aging, and it’s a wine that really comes into its own with a few years in the bottle. It’s vinified in cement and then aged for a year on fine lees, also in cement, which gives it incredible elegance and salinity – qualities that come from the vineyard’s glacial moraine soils." -ISSIMO x Women in Wine: Matilde Poggi, May 28, 2025
