Bardolino Wine Quality Conference Highlights Tradition and Innovation
Focus on the quality of Bardolino
These motivations are more than sufficient to review the quality framework of a product with a consolidated typicity like Bardolino, a daily wine with an inimitable “saline” flavor, moderately alcoholic and rich in resveratrol. Moreover, this wine’s flavors can be enhanced by reducing the production of the grape variety, when aiming to shift from everyday consumption to festive occasions that demand more challenging products.
The occasion is provided by the conference “Wine Quality. Bardolino Quality,” promoted by the Consorzio tutela (Protection Consortium), which will take place today in the City Hall council chamber starting at 10 a.m. “In this way,” emphasizes Giuseppe Degli Albertini, “the Consorzio tutela vino Bardolino aims to contribute knowledge on quality by giving voice to diverse opinions, to remind, among many other issues, how the debate about Bardolino’s quality is an old story dating back to the 1800s.”
