The aroma is filled with jammy dark fruits, especially plum, accompanied by some earthy notes. Once in the mouth, the wine has a considerably lighter body and is remarkably less filling than you would expect. The finish is drying and a bit bitter, in clear contrast with the first impression given by the sweet, fruity sensations perceived on the nose. The aftertaste is long, but not particularly appealing.

On the nose, an aroma market by citrus fruits, floral and mineral flavours.
On the nose, the first impression is of very ripe fruits. A bit more in the back and coming forward with some aeration, are peppery spices and dry meat aromas, which nicely complements the plums flavour. Overall a rich and pleasant experience.
On the first sniff the wine gives the impression that not everything went well during vinification, but maybe it is just a very simple wine. A simplicity that is confirmed in the mouth, where matter is clearly missing and not much get expressed.
Pleasantly fruity on the nose and (especially) in the mouth. It doesn’t really have any persistence worth mentioning, but thanks to its acidity and effervescency, the wine is very refreshing.
On the nose a nice aroma of ripe/under spirit fruits, complemented by herbs, liquorice and tobacco notes. In the mouth a bit rough, due to the prickly tannins. A nice contrast to the sweet olfactory sensations. The aftertaste is drying, a bit bitter and, considering the overall experience, a little anticlimactic. 
On the nose nutty flavours, with notes of lemon and melon, accompanied by some smoky sensations. Almost oily mouthfeel, balanced by minerality more than acidity. Once swollen, at first not much. It gets better with successive sips, but nothing special, beside the pleasant mineral mouthfeel. 
Deep ruby red to the eyes. Rich, ripe and intense on the nose, with notes of black berries and spices. Nice and fascinating complexity, with the fruit that keeps hiding and showing up discretely. In the mouth elegant, but less filling than you could expect. Earthy, mineral sensations dominate. Firm yet rounded tannins and nice acidity. The aftertaste gets a bit cut off. 
On the nose primarily coffee, cacao and cherry. Some vegetable notes are also clearly detectable and they accompany you in the mouth till the end, with a rough feel that I personally find a bit disturbing, but could also be peculiar to this unique wine. 
The only reason I bought this Bardolino DOC Classico is because it is made without any sulphites added, and I was curious to judge the result.
