Guerrieri Rizzardi 2003 Calcarole Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $120
Calcarole is an expensive and important Amarone but ultimately, it delivers too much power and intensity. The fruit is overripe, the alcohol is high, the oak element is dominating and the sweetness in the mouth leaves a long-lasting impression. You’ll also get exotic spice, black slate and strawberry.

Guerrieri Rizzardi 2003 Villa Rizzardi Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $90
There’s a lot of mature fruit and some strawberry jam here backed by prunes, raisins, tobacco, incense and cola. Pretty nuances of white stone and dried hay appear on the nose and the wine ends with sweet, sticky flavors of ripe berry.

Villa Rizzardi offers a traditional interpretation of Amarone with a leaner consistency than most and brighter aromas of forest berry, white cherry, raspberry and almond. It feels smooth and clean and would pair with spicy sausage.

Guerrieri Rizzardi 1995 Calcarole Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $82
If you enjoy a mildly barnyardy wine, say, something akin to a French Syrah, this should appeal to you. The nose is earthy for sure. The palate is dense and brooding, and a tad bit bitter. But there’s also a load of leather and tannin, which give it texture and some positive rusticity.

Guerrieri Rizzardi 1997 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $59
The nose starts out with cedar and lemon notes before it shifts to dried stone fruits and strawberry. The flavors run sweet, emphasizing candied red fruit, most of all cherry. The finish is drying and mildly medicinal, but not so much that it gets in the way.

Guerrieri Rizzardi 2006 Pojega Red (Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
There’s loads of spice on the nose followed by dried currant berry, blueberry tart, cinnamon and tobacco. The wine delivers a fresh and elegant component that fuels a long sensation on the finish. It’s not too thick or dense, which also plays in its favor. Imported by Enotec Imports, Inc.
