“3 Cru” Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 2015

Guerrieri Rizzardi | Veneto
Guerreri Rizzardi Az. Agr. | Strada Campazzi 2 | IT 37011 Bardolino | Italien

The youngest offspring of the Amarone family of Guerrieri Rizzardi comes from three cru sites in the commune of Negrar, including the best vineyard Calcarole. The grapes are dried for 3-5 months in Pojega's drying rooms without any technical aids. Accessible earlier than Villa Rizzardi or Calcarole, 3 Cru offers complex dark fruit aromas with a very pleasant sweet spice on the palate. Fresh and lively, it glides into a respectable finish with plenty of character. SUPERIORE.DE

"Powerful ruby garnet. Opens with notes of tobacco and licorice, ripe cherry behind. On the palate powerful, very well developed, grippy tannin, well integrated, long finish." Falstaff

"The 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 3 CRU has a sweetly spiced and opulent bouquet, showing candied cherries, blueberries, clove, butter cream and milk chocolate. It’s deeply textural and soothing, enveloping the palate in ripe blackberries and plums with mineral underpinnings, feeling weighty but perfectly balanced by brisk acids, with a more tart set of wild berries coming forward toward the close. This finishes like a black hole of structure and residual primary fruit, which leads me to believe that a few more years of cellaring may reveal even further depths. It’s an Amarone of contrasts that keeps you coming back to the glass." Vinous
