Le Morette is located in Lugana (just south of Lake Garda), founded in the early 1960’s, and is now a 3rd generation family owned winery.  Morette is a local endangered species of duck.  The winery is organic for the usual reasons, plus they want to provide a safe haven for the Morette ducks.  The seasoned citizens amongst y’all may remember Bardolino from when wine from only a few Italian appellations were imported in volume to the United States.  Back in the day, when you wanted to impress your date with your savoir-faire, you brought a bottle of Bardolino to a picnic, because it tasted good with a little chill on it.  Aged in neutral tanks.  Tart red cherry, strawberry, pomegranate, black pepper.

Food Pairing Suggestions:
This versatile red pairs perfectly with meaty stews, grilled herb-rubbed steak, chicken breast stuffed with eggplant, crispy zucchini fritters, caramelized onions and white truffles, pizza Napoletana, rustic Italian tortellini soup with meatballs, classic lasagna Bolognese and veal parmesan topped with melted Mozzarella. After dinner enjoy this delightful red with semi-hard cheeses such as Havarti, Edam, Emmental, Gruyère, Jarlsberg or Tomme d’Alsace.
