Gorgo Bardolino Veneto, Italy
Roberto Bricolo established Gorgo in 1973 with 22 hectares. Today he has over 60 hectares, almost all part of the “Bianco di Custoza” and “Bardolino” DOCs. He now runs the estate with his daughter and chief winemaker, Roberta.*
Gorgo's wines are fresh, authentic representations of the region and have been widely recognized by Gambero Rosso as well as the rest of the Italian wine press. Gorgo sits on glacial moraine just southeast of Lake Garda, near the village of Custoza. The lightly textured soil consists of rock fragments, pebbles, humus, and silt rich in calcium carbonate. The certified organic vineyards are managed using traditional local methods, including the use of organic fertilizers and hand-harvesting, which can take up to 45 days.*
The 2025 Gorgo Bardolino, a blend of native varietals Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara vinified and aged in stainless steel, is light- to medium-bodied, with aromas and flavors of red cherries, ripe strawberries, and blackcurrants complemented by notes of bay leaf and thyme. Bright acidity gives the wine freshness and brings it to a long finish with echos of cherries and a whiff of black pepper.
