Guerrieri Rizzard, Valpolicella Superiore Classico Cuvee XVII, Veneto, Italy, 2021
{organic} Corvina, Rondinella, Croatina, Merlot
BALSAMIC CHERRY, AUTUMNAL SPICE & LEATHER
Grown in proximity to Lake Garda and two mountain ranges, this cuvée expresses the quintessential cherry, deep spice, and cracked peppercorn perkiness of Corvina blends. The clay and limestone based-soil provides a low-acid, high-nutrient, well-drained home for optimal vibrance. The Guerrieri family have cultivated this land since the 1400s, evolving it into an eco winery circa 2011.
Serving Suggestion: Chicken Xacuti w/ coconut rice. Neapolitan pizza w/ truffle oil, micro-planed parm, crushed pistachios & shaved poached pear.
