    A wine that has voluntarily been downgraded. Munus was the flagship among Guerrieri Rizzardi's Bardolino red wines – a Bardolino Superiore DOCG, Italy's highest classification level. Since 2021, it has borne the seemingly more modest title of Rosso Veronese IGT. Not out of negligence, but out of conviction: the DOCG required at least twelve months' ageing in wood for every vintage, and Giuseppe Rizzardi decided that the wine itself should dictate the ageing process, rather than the regulations.

    The result is a red wine of astonishing individuality. 63% Merlot for a velvety texture, 32% Corvina for sour cherry and structure, and five% Merlot Khorus – an early-ripening new variety that no one would expect from a traditional estate such as this. Black cherry, plum, dark chocolate, and spicy notes from the large cask, yet with a freshness that never veers into heaviness. Munus means "gift" in Latin. The fact that this gift has cast off its crown to be freer only makes it all the more precious. SUPERIORE.DE
