In any other cellar it would be a disaster: Amarone that turns to vinegar. In the Rizzardis' cellar in Negrar, it is a family tradition – and one that is older than any wine in the house. The "madre", the vinegar mother, dates back to the beginning of the last century: a living organism that has been absorbing and transforming every new Amarone vintage for over a hundred years. For ten years, the vinegar travels through ten barrels of descending size – of oak, pear, apple, cherry and almond. Each wood leaves its signature, until in the end a concentrate is created that blurs the boundary between flavour and wine.

On the palate, it alternates between dark cherry fruit, balsamic depth and a velvety sweetness carried by lively acidity – more essence than vinegar. Ten vintages merge into a single, timeless drop in each bottle. What begins as supposed decay – wine that turns into acidity –becomes the highest form of refinement. SUPERIORE.DE
