Munus

Tasting profile

Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry

Guerrieri Rizzardi's top red from its Bardolino estate, made from selected old parcels. It is Merlot-led with Corvina and aged in large barrels. Since the 2021 vintage it has been bottled as Rosso Veronese IGT rather than Bardolino Superiore. Expect black cherry, plum and dark chocolate with spice, firm chalky tannins and a freshness that keeps it from feeling heavy.
