  2023 ‘ Keya’ Bardolino Chiaretto Classico DOC, Guerrieri Rizzardi

  £1595

  Delicate in colour yet rich in character, KEYA is a vibrant and expressive rosé crafted from selected hillside plots in the villages of Cavaion and Bardolino, on the eastern shores of Lake Garda. A true expression of Chiaretto Classico, it embodies years of careful vineyard selection and stylistic refinement to capture the essence of this unique terroir.

  KEYA (inspired by the first syllables of Chi-a-ret-to) is both a tribute to the wine’s roots and a nod to the Venetian heritage of Contessa M.C. Loredan Rizzardi, whose passion and leadership helped shape Guerrieri Rizzardi’s legacy with Bardolino Chiaretto.

  On the nose, it opens with floral notes and fresh red berries, followed by a palate that is vivid, fruit-driven, and refreshingly dry, showing excellent energy and purity. The finish is long, clean, and savoury, making it both a charming aperitif and a versatile food companion.

  Food Pairing: Perfect with rice and pasta salads, seafood, crustaceans, white meats, and even mildly spiced dishes such as Thai or Indian curries.

A clean, linear structure drives through to a dry, refreshing finish, marked by a subtle mineral edge and a final whisper of spice.

  2018 Amarone della Valpolicella, Musella

  £3995

  The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG by Musella is a masterful expression of Valpolicella’s rich winemaking heritage, crafted with biodynamic precision and a deep respect for tradition. Sourced from estate vineyards nestled in the hills northeast of Verona, this wine is a blend of 50% Corvinone, 45% Corvina, 5% Rondinella, and 5% Oseleta.

The wine is then aged for 24 months in 3,500 to 5,000-litre oak barrels, followed by 12 months in concrete tanks, allowing it to develop depth and complexity. 

  In the glass, this Amarone reveals a deep ruby hue. The nose is rich with aromas of sweet cherries, dried fruits, spices, and hints of bitter chocolate and tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied and opulent, offering a harmonious balance of concentrated fruit flavours and a pleasantly tangy finish. The wine’s structure is supported by its 15.6% alcohol content, providing a robust yet refined experience.
