Guerrieri Rizzardi, the historic wine-growing firm in the Veneto region, is a result of the union between two ancient Veronese wine producers of substance: the Counts Guerrieri, owners of a centuries-old estate with vineyards and cellars in Bardolino, and the Counts Rizzardi, who acquired their vineyards in Negrar back in 1678, building the historic cellar of Pojega shortly thereafter. The small estate of Dolcè in Valdadige has always followed the life of the Guerrieri estate of Bardolino. The Soave estate, with its vineyards and cellar in Costeggiola, at the centre of the Classico area, was purchased in 1970.
Today, Guerrieri Rizzardi is under the ownership of the Rizzardi family. It remains a family business with vineyards in the four Classico areas for the production of the Veronese wines of Bardolino, Valpolicella, Soave and Valdadige. Guerrieri Rizzardi is based in Bardolino, housed in the ancient building belonging to the Guerrieri family and its ancestors since 1450.

Prosecco Extra Dry
|
“It is light, soft and refreshing with crisp citrus flavours
and is traditionally served chilled”
Prosecco has been a well known wine for several centuries, even the Romans
recorded their enjoyment of the wine. However, it was not until after the scourge
of Phylloxera that the grape’s suitability for sparkling wine was discovered and its
subsequent rise in popularity saw major cities such as Venice become captivated
by the new style.
