The 2024 Guerrieri Rizzardi Cuvée XVII Valpolicella DOC Classico is a vibrant Venetian red showing sour cherry, red plum and raspberry with violet, dried herbs and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and lively, with bright acidity, fine tannins and layers of red fruit, savoury herbs and gentle earthy character. The finish is dry, fresh and balanced, with a clean mineral edge.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Valpolicella drinkers who enjoy bright Italian reds with freshness and savoury detail. Best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years. Pair with veal saltimbocca, duck ragù pappardelle, mushroom risotto or grilled radicchio with aged cheese.
