Amarone, Bardolino and Soave with Guerrieri Rizzardi – Tuesday 21st October (Non-Member)
The Veneto is a wonderfully eclectic part of the Italian wine scene, yielding wines as diverse as Amarone and Prosecco, Bardolino and Soave. Few producers, though, tend to make them all…
Guerrieri Rizzardi is a historic estate, established through the union of two noble families – the Guerrieris of Bardolino and the Rizzardis of Valpolicella – with winemaking roots dating back to the 15th century. Today, it remains family-owned and run, with a particular focus on sustainable, terroir-driven winemaking across its three estates in Valpolicella, Bardolino and Soave. The resultant range spans light, aromatic whites to robust reds, with particular acclaim for its Amarone della Valpolicella.
The family vineyards take in some of the most prestigious appellations of the Veneto, including the historic Clos Roareti vineyard in Valpolicella. The winery emphasises minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar, aiming to balance environmental stewardship with the production of expressive, ageworthy wines that showcase the Veneto’s rich heritage and varied microclimates.
Irish-born Daniel Stewart moved to Italy in 2013 and is one of the directors of the historic house, based at its main winery in Bardolino. We invite you to join him to discover these terroir-driven, classically authentic wines.
