The 2024 Guerrieri Rizzardi Cuvée XV Bardolino DOC Classico is an elegant and vibrant red wine from Italy's Veneto region, crafted in the traditional Bardolino style. Made predominantly from Corvina with Merlot, Ancellotta and Rondinella, it showcases bright red fruit, silky texture and remarkable freshness, offering greater depth and concentration than a typical Bardolino while retaining its effortless drinkability.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with fine, supple tannins, lively natural acidity and a smooth, silky texture, delivering flavours of wild berries, red cherry and redcurrant layered with subtle floral notes, gentle spice and savoury complexity. Matured for 3–12 months in stainless steel and concrete, the finish is fresh, dry and beautifully balanced, making it a wonderfully versatile food wine that can even be served lightly chilled.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic Italian red for customers who enjoy elegant, fruit-driven wines with bright freshness and exceptional food-pairing versatility. Best enjoyed now or over the next 2–4 years. Serve slightly chilled alongside roast chicken, turkey, pork, rabbit, mozzarella, creamy cheeses, charcuterie or dim sum for a truly authentic Italian dining experience.
