2020 Pojega Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore, Magnum

Red Blend

The Rizzardi Pojega is an utterly delicious example of this style of red wine, showing a wonderful depth of fruit and terrific balance.  Made from a traditional blend of Corvina, Rondinella, Corvinone and Merlot the wine shows great concentration of dark and red fruits, but also lovely freshness and a harmonious finish.  The addition of 10% Amarone (which now has to be done by law for Ripasso's) simply adds to the complexity without detracting from the elegant freshness which seems to be the hallmark of the wines from this historic estate.  This is the kind of wine which doesn't disappoint, no matter what your taste.

2022 Lugana, Guerrieri Rizzardi, DOC Lugana

Trebbiano

This Lugana from Rizzardi is a relatively new addition to the range.  Made with the local clone of Trebbiano (Turbiana), this is elegant and fresh with mineral undertones.  The texture comes from two months lees ageing in stainless steel.  A delightful wine to enjoy as an aperitif or with shellfish dishes.

2022/23 Bardolino Cuvee XV, Rizzardi, DOC Bardolino Classico

Corvina

The Cuvee XV Bardolino from Guerrieri Rizzardi is a wonderfully approachable, easy drinking red wine made with predominantly Corvina, Rondinella and a splash of Merlot.  The pretty hillside vineyards overlooking Lake Garda produce wonderfully fresh and aromatic wines with elegant red fruits and finely balanced, refreshing acidity.  This delicate red should be enjoyed within a couple of years of the vintage.
