Guerrieri Rizzardi
Valpolicella Classico "Cuvée XVII" 2024
From the family's 15 hectares in Negrar, in the Valpolicella Classico zone, including old pergola-trained vines on calcareous clay-sand. The destemmed grapes ferment about 10 days in steel, and the wine matures 3-12 months in concrete and steel. Corvina and Corvinone give dark cherry and black-pepper character in a medium-bodied, smooth wine with a savory finish.
