Bandol, Tavel, Bardolino Chiaretto, Grenache, and Rose of Pinot Noir are just samples of wines that celebrate the flavors of barbecued food. |

But for duck with cherries, you should go for a light red Italian Bardolino or Chianti. |
|
Good Bardolino is regularly produced outside the Classico zone, notably in Sommacampagna. |
|
There are lots of other resorts on the lakeshore such as the medieval town of Malcesine, the vineyards-surrounded town of Bardolino, and the Roman spa town of Sirmione. |
|
Local wines such as the red Bardolino and the basic Valpolicella are light and refreshing on the whole, as is the white Soave. |
|
I'd steer clear of reds, but if you must, try a light, dry style like a Bardolino, traditional Valpolicella or even a gamay from the Valle d'Aosta. |
|
The two wines use a similar blend of corvina, rondinella and molinara grapes, although Bardolino tends to have less corvina, the grape that gives body and structure. |
