Guerrieri Rizzardi
Amarone & Valpolicella Wines by Guerrieri Rizzardi
Guerrieri Rizzardi is a historic, family-run winery with origins dating back to the 15th century. The estate brings together the legacies of two noble families who played a key role in the development of winemaking in the Veneto region. With vineyards across Valpolicella, Bardolino, and Soave, the winery produces estate-grown wines that reflect the diverse terroirs of these classic regions.
For centuries, the estate has evolved from mixed agriculture to a dedicated focus on viticulture, emphasizing the relationship between soil, climate, and grape variety. The vineyards are planted with both traditional and international grapes, carefully chosen based on soil composition and microclimate. Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Barbera, and Sangiovese form the foundation of the Valpolicella wines, while Bardolino and Soave bring in additional varietal diversity. The estate follows sustainable vineyard practices, with precise pruning and yield control to maintain quality.
Grapes are vinified in three separate cellars—one in each region—to ensure minimal transport and preserve freshness. The winery was among the first in Italy to apply the “Cru” concept, highlighting the significance of individual vineyard sites in defining quality. Over the years, the Rizzardi family has balanced tradition with innovation, expanding their vineyards while maintaining full control over the production process, from vine to bottle.
Beyond winemaking, Guerrieri Rizzardi has also developed a strong presence in hospitality and tourism. Historic sites such as Villa Rizzardi and the renowned Pojega Garden in Valpolicella are part of the estate, offering visitors a connection to the winery’s long history. Today, the family continues to refine their approach, blending generations of expertise with modern techniques to create wines that reflect both their heritage and the land they cultivate.
