Description:
The history of the house, which stretches back 500 years, is a product of the counts who at that time merged their wineries. Today, the house has over 100 hectares of vineyards, which cover the absolute best DOCs, and the vineyards that have the greatest potential.
In the past, it was the old Countess Contessa Maria Cristina Guerri Rizzardi who headed the winery, but today her son Giuseppe has taken over this role. This generational change has led to a far greater care both in the cellars and in the vineyards, which has raised the standard of the house to completely new heights.

The absolute pride of the house is a single field Amarone named Calcarole. This wine is sourced from the rocky slope of Calcarole, which is located in the heart of the Negrar in the Classico area. The 5 acres that the family owns of this vineyard are mainly planted with Corvina, which creates the absolute best results in the district.
