Crafted from hand-selected grapes grown on the Rizzardi family’s estate vineyards in the prestigious commune of Negrar di Valpolicella, the 2019 3 Cru Amarone is a refined expression of tradition and terroir. Sourced from three of the estate’s finest crus and matured in oak following the same regimen as the Riserva wines, 3 Cru is then bottled earlier to retain vibrancy and freshness, setting it apart with a more modern, food-friendly appeal.

In the glass, it opens with an intense bouquet of ripe dark berries, dried cherries, and notes of toasted spice, cocoa, and a hint of vanilla. The palate is generous yet poised, offering a silky texture, rich fruit concentration, and a long, elegant finish. Its freshness and balance make it remarkably versatile at the table, a standout Amarone that complements food as much as it captivates on its own.
