History
Tacchetto is a vineyard name within the Guerrieri Rizzardi estate at Bardolino. The Chiaretto style was historically produced throughout the Garda area as the 'rosato' of the region, made by bleeding off juice from red grapes after a brief skin contact. The Classico designation restricts production to the historic Bardolino core.
- 1995: Guerrieri Rizzardi releases Tacchetto as a single-vineyard Bardolino Chiaretto Classico DOC.
