It is said that the Molmenti’s intuition was born during a trip to France, where he would have appreciated the local rosé wines and would have studied their production methods. Back in Italy, in 1896 he applied “White” winemaking to the traditional grapes of Garda region, that is Groppello, Marzemino, Barbera and Sangiovese, thus creating and spreading a type of rosé still produced and appreciated over the years.
Chiaretto is a historical production of Valtènesi and the entire Lake Garda, and the traditional technique has its roots in the work of the Venetian senator Pompeo Molmenti who, having married a rich woman of Salò, owned a villa and some vineyards in Moniga del Garda.
