Yields in Bardolino also tend to be higher than the 13 tonnes per hectare officially prescribed in DOC regulations. It’s a very superior Bardolino, for two reasons: a high - 80% - proportion of the superior Corvina grape, accompanied by 20% Rondinella; and eight days maceration on the skins gives considerable texture.

In 1968 it obtained the DOC label (Controlled Designation of Origin) and the production area was defined. The Corte Giara wine estate, Naiano, stretches across an area of 33 hectares, and is located right in the centre of Bardolino Classico.
