About the wine
Marica's hidden gem Bardolino is the ultimate silky-soft summer red
-
If you’d not heard of Bardolino until now, you wouldn’t be alone. This off-the-beaten-track pocket of the Veneto has long been overshadowed by its more famous neighbours, like Valpolicella. But Marica Bonomo is on a mission to make the Bardolino region famous around the world. And with mouthwatering reds like this, it won’t be long before everyone wants a piece.
-
Bardolino actually benefits from the same soils, the same climate, the same winemaking tradition... even the same grapes you’ll find in top Valpolicella wines. So the quality is top-notch. It’s a different beast to your classic Valpolicella and Amarone fare though, it’s a softer, more elegant type of wine. Perfect for sipping in the summer sunshine.
-
It’s also the ultimate pizza red. Fresh and ripe, with aromas of red fruits, wild herbs and spices, which all carry through in the flavour. It’s soft and generous in the mouth, and just slips down a treat.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Marica Bonomo
-
Marica Bonomo is exactly the sort of person we love to support at Naked. A super-talented third generation winemaker at her family’s Veneto winery, which she runs with her siblings, parents and uncle.
-
Marica’s clan have been making top-quality Italian wines for 64 years. But until recently, they were a bit of a hidden gem. That’s because while Veneto is one of Italy’s most celebrated wine regions, home to iconic wines like Valpolicella and Amarone, Marica’s family are based around the lesser-known Custoza and Bardolino areas. So they’ve been long overshadowed by their more famous neighbours, despite having access to almost the exact same soils, climate and grapes.
- Thankfully, that’s now changing. Marica’s wines were recently named among the best in the world by experts from The Times and The Wine Spectator. And now, by connecting Marica with hundreds and thousands of eager UK Angels, her family wines are sure to finally get the love they deserve.
