History & Geography
What began in 1649 when the Rizzardi family established their vineyards in Valpolicella is now an estate covering over 100 hectares of vines from Bardolino to Valpolicella to Soave. The focus of Guerrieri Rizzardi is on its unique, cru vineyards which lie at the heart of these Classico regions. Single vineyard expressions of Amarone (Calcarole), Ripasso (Pojega), Bardolino (Tacchetto) and Soave (Costeggiola) have forged the company’s reputation. Unusually for an estate which dates back over several centuries, Guerrieri Rizzardi is still family owned and family run, Giuseppe Rizzardi is the winemaker and is responsible for the vineyards while his brother Agostino Rizzardi is the general manager.
