Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 3 Cru is the most refined and site-driven expression of Amarone produced by Guerrieri Rizzardi, sourced from three of the family’s historic cru vineyards in the heart of Valpolicella Classica. The wine is made primarily from Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, with grapes carefully selected and dried using the traditional appassimento method to enhance concentration while preserving balance.
After fermentation, the wine undergoes extended aging in oak, allowing structure and complexity to develop without overshadowing the fruit. In the glass, it shows a deep ruby color and a layered aromatic profile of dried cherry, plum, dark berries, sweet spices, cocoa, and subtle balsamic notes.
On the palate, it is full-bodied yet poised, with polished tannins, integrated warmth, and a long, harmonious finish. Despite its richness, the wine maintains freshness and precision, reflecting the distinct character of the Classico zone.
Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 3 Cru is built for long aging and stands as a benchmark example of how terroir selection and restraint can elevate Amarone beyond power into elegance and depth.
