Zeni, “Mr Lake”, Bardolino DOC 2023, Italy

About Zeni: The Zeni winery is located and operates in Bardolino, on the slopes of the moraines hills along the eastern shore of Lake Garda. It’s here, in the very heart of the vine growing area of the homonymous Bardolino wine, that the carefully selected grapes are conveyed. Only the best grapes can result in wines with such a distinctive character that are true expressions of a unique terroir. The meticulous care devoted to the growing of the vine, the grape raisining and the following vinification is also paid to the ageing and refining of the great wines, as further testified by the realisation of the stunning underground Barrique cellar.

Description: Mr. Lake is a blend of Corvina and Rondinella grapes from the Bardolino DOC which lies on the hills of the eastern shore of Lago di Garda, the largest lake in Italy, with “Mr. Lake” on the label referencing Lake Guarda. This wine has been produced respecting the “Italian quality in sustainable agriculture” and the certification is stated by a bee.  With fresh cherry, wild strawberry and spice notes, it is a fruity, fun-spirited wine which can also be served chilled in the summer time.  Zeni is a historic winery producing wine in Bardolino, in the province of Verona for over 150 years, since 1870. With wineries now in both Bardolino and Valpolicella, the current generation of siblings Fausto, Elena and Federica, along with their mother Mariarosa, lead the way following in their father Gaetano ‘Nino’ Zeni’s footsteps.
