Overview

Chiaretto Rosabel 2024, officially classified as Riviera del Garda Classico DOC Chiaretto, is a refined Italian rosé wine produced by Sgreva in the Lake Garda area of Lombardy. It captures the classic Chiaretto style, known for its pale colour, freshness and elegance. Light, crisp and food-friendly, Rosabel is ideal for UK drinkers who enjoy dry, delicate rosé wines with balance rather than sweetness.

The mild Garda climate plays a key role in the wine’s character. Warm days support gentle ripening, while cooling breezes from Lake Garda help preserve freshness and aromatic clarity. As a result, the wine remains vibrant, refreshing and easy to drink.

Grape Variety

Rosabel Chiaretto is produced from traditional local grape varieties used in the Riviera del Garda area, with Groppello playing a leading role, supported by complementary native and international grapes. This blend contributes freshness, subtle fruit expression and a clean, elegant structure.

Vinification

Sgreva vinifies Rosabel using gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation. This careful approach preserves the wine’s pale rosé colour and delicate aromatics. The winemaking focuses on purity and freshness, without oak influence, allowing the natural character of the grapes and terroir to shine.

Tasting Notes

In the glass, the wine shows a pale pink colour with soft coral hues. On the nose, aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry and rose petals emerge first, followed by light citrus notes. On the palate, it is dry, crisp and refreshing. Delicate red fruit flavours combine with bright acidity and a clean, mineral edge. The finish is light, precise and refreshing.

Food Pairing

Thanks to its freshness and balance, this Chiaretto pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. It works particularly well with seafood, grilled fish and shellfish. In addition, it complements salads, light pasta dishes, antipasti and soft cheeses. Many customers also enjoy it as an aperitif or summer drinking wine.
