About Bardolino d'Autunno
The youngest wine celebrates
Bardolino d'Autunno con il Vino Novello is the event that, in Bardolino in the province of Verona, celebrates Bardolino Novello DOC, the first wine of the harvest that can be marketed from October 30th. A young, soft, and fruity wine, Novello is born from a particular carbonic maceration technique that gives it freshness and intense aromas.
On the Garda lakefront
The heart of the festival is the Lungolago Lenotti, along with Piazza del Porto, which are transformed into a lively stage overlooking Lake Garda. Amidst tastings, wine stalls, vintage markets, street food festivals, and shows, the event blends tradition, culture, and food and wine with the colours and flavours of autumn.
A winemaking tradition of Bardolino
Bardolino d'Autunno is an expression of the territory's deep winemaking vocation, the same one that has animated the historic Grape and Wine Festival since 1929. With Novello as the protagonist, the event invites residents and tourists to discover the autumnal soul of the Verona Garda area, amidst glasses of wine, seasonal flavours, and the intimate atmosphere of the lakeside village.
