The 2020 Guerrieri Rizzardi Villa Rizzardi Amarone della Valpolicella is a powerful and elegant Italian red wine crafted using the traditional appassimento method, delivering exceptional concentration, richness and complexity. The nose is deeply aromatic, revealing layers of dried cherry, blackberry and plum, complemented by notes of dark chocolate, sweet spice, tobacco, leather and a hint of balsamic herbs.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with velvety tannins, balanced natural acidity and a luxuriously rich texture, delivering concentrated flavours of black cherry, dried fig and blackberry layered with hints of cocoa, liquorice, espresso and savoury spice. The finish is long, warming and beautifully persistent, showcasing the remarkable depth, elegance and ageing potential that define great Amarone.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional Amarone for customers seeking one of Italy's most iconic red wines. Rich, complex and beautifully structured, it is perfect for special occasions, fine dining or adding to a cellar. Enjoy now after decanting for at least an hour, or cellar confidently over the next 12–20 years as it develops even greater complexity. Ideal with slow-braised beef, venison, osso buco, aged Parmigiano Reggiano or rich game dishes.
