2018 Guerrieri Rizzardi '3 Cru' Amarone della Valpolicella Classico

£36.00

Amarone Classico 3CRU is made from hand-picked grapes from our three Cru vineyards of Calcarole, Pojega & Rovereti.

After the grape drying period the wine undergoes a long fermentation followed by three years matured in oak and is normally released in the 4th year following harvest.

Selected by hand from vines that are at least 30 years old, only the more mature and loosely packed bunches of grapes make it into 3 Cru.

The grapes undergo a natural drying process with no temperature or humidity technology. It's still done the old fashioned way in small crates in the old drying rooms of Pojega, for 3-5 months.

Origin: Veneto, Italy

Blend: Corvinone, Corvina, Rondinella, Barbera, Sangiovese

Guerrieri Rizzardi

In 1649 Carlo Rizzardi from Toscolano Maderno arrived in Valpolicella and bought the property of Pojega with the nearby vineyards of Calcarole and the estate of Rovereti added later.

He built the cellar of Pojega and produced the first Rizzardi labels in 1678.

Later in 1783 Antonio Rizzardi created the garden of Pojega, still famous in the world for the wonderful perspectives of its design “all’italiana” and for its renowned theatre in Boxwood and for Villa Rizzardi, restored later in the 1850’s.
