The name, of German origin (probably from the patronymic "bardilio"), according to a legend derives from Bardali, daughter of King Auleto and grand-daughter of Manto, founder of Mantua, mentioned by Virgil and by Dante. Certainly in the neighbourhood of Bardolino, on the Veronese shore of Lake Garda, viticulture? is very ancient, as confirmed by the grape pips discovered among the pile-dwellings from Peschiera to Lazise, dating back to the Bronze Age. Bardolino Classico? Ca'Bordenis takes its name from an old farmhouse in the commune? of Bardolino, surrounded since time immemorial by vines, olive? trees and cypresses. The production of this wine, started in 1975, is about 48.000 bottles a year.
Deep, ruby red colour; fresh and fragrant bouquet?, with strong hints of wild cherry, spices and cherry blossom; fruity? and freshly spicy flavour, with good body? and excellent length?.
