    In the 1820s, wine merchants knew three Bardolino crus that existed in Switzerland's grand hotels alongside Burgundy and Beaujolais. In 1968, they were lost in the DOC regulations. They have been back since 2021 – and Montebaldo, the northernmost and highest subzone on the foothills of Monte Baldo, is perhaps the most exciting. Guerrieri Rizzardi's response to this rediscovery: 95 per cent Corvina – the highest percentage the winery has ever bottled –supplemented by a touch of Rondinella, vinified completely without wood. This is not a concession to light summer enjoyment. It is a statement about transparency: the grape speaks exclusively here, and the moraine soil of Cavaion gives it a resonance chamber.

    Wild strawberry, sour cherry, rose blossom, a hint of clove – with a silky tannin structure that has unusual depth for Bardolino. The first 2021 vintage was immediately awarded the Golden Crown by Vinibuoni d'Italia. The 2023 shows that this was not a debut success, but the beginning of a new narrative. SUPERIORE.DE

    "Red plum jam, spice and earthy savour meet dark cherry, liquorice and violet. Fruit pastille charm and a lively core, tannins firm and shaping with bright acidity. Joyful and persistent finish." Decanter

    "The Montebaldo Bardolino Delara 2023 is wild and fresh, with a mix of blackberries, sage and violet blossom. It is cool and perfumed throughout, blending wild blueberries with lavender and crisp mineral tones. The finish is crisp and delicious, and the residual acidity provides fantastic balance on the long final. Wonderfully made. I could easily mistake it for a Cru Beaujolais." Vinous
