3CRU, Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico 2018.
The latest vintage of 3CRU picks up a solid 90 point SILVER MEDAL at this year’s Decanter Wine Awards.
Judges comments:
‘Very generous nose showing evolved aromas of dried fruits, roasted coffee
and smoky nuances. Muscular tannins on the palate, rich.’
KEYA Chiaretto di Bardolino Classico DOC 2022 gets chosen by Decanter as one of the summer’s top ten rosés.
Available in good restaurants and wine shops in Italy and around the world and of course, here in our winery shops in Bardolino, Cavaion and Negrar.
“A historical name of the Bardolino district, with ancient noble ancestry, Guerrieri Rizzardi has elaborated an original mix for this Chiaretto: 75% Corvina, 5% Rondinella and 10% of both Sangiovese and Merlot. The 50-year-old vines dig deep into the mineral soils, producing a citrussy, sapid and incisive wine with a long finish. Perfect with typical summer cuisine.”

Five of our wine were tasted by Vinous media’s specialist for northern Italy and the results were most welcome indeed!
Stocks are limited and demand is high, especially for the top two wines – so be quick!

Some great results at the Merano Wine Awards this year, including a GOLD for the new vintage of CALCAROLE, Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico Riserva.
We will be back at Merano festival showing our wines on the 4th – 8th of November this year. Hope to see many old and new friends there!
Even though it is the height of summer and temperatures soar, the work does not stop.
After the harvest of 2020 we took away some very old and tired vines which were planted by the pergola method back in the 1960s and now is the time to restructure the vineyard.
We are working and preparing the soil for the new vineyard: first by removing the surface soil and then breaking the first half metre to metre of the limestone rock underneath (in order to allow the new vines’ roots to go deeper); once this is done the surface soil will be re-positioned again on top of the broken limestone rock. After this we combine two sections of the vineyard to make a more stable terrace for future generations of vine.
It is a lot of work but once finished this will be another part of the cru of Costeggiola that will flourish in years to come.
Very happy with some nice big scores from Falstaff International Wine Magazine.
Calcarole, Villa Rizzardi, and 3CRU all continue to score highly in this annual prestige competition.
We just wish we had many more bottles in the cellar!!!
We are happy and honoured to have been invited to join The International Association of Rosés de Terroirs.
After a benchmark tasting, our signature Chiaretto di Bardolino Classico, KEYA has been selected along with the fine Chiaretto from Le Fraghe to become a part of this excellent association.
The two rosés from Bardolino join with the wines of 32 other producers from the renowned French appellations of Tavel, Bandol, Côtes De Provence amongst others.
The 2020 vintage of KEYA, Chiaretto do Bardolino DOC Classico will be on tasting next week at Vinexpo Wine Paris at the Cru Tavel stand at Hall 4 E 305.
The 2021 vintage will be coming soon…

KEYA, Bardolino di Chiaretto DOC Classico 2020 95 points Gorgeous aromatics; slightly deeper pink which carries through on the palate as a fuller wine; still with bracing and refreshing acidity; persistent; lovely hint of bitterness in the finish. Michael Apstein KEYA, Bardolino di Chiaretto DOC Classico 2020 92 points Bright old pink in appearance. Delicate and fragrant nose of fresh flowers, in addition some sour cherry and raspberry notes. Round and supple on the palate with a subtle onset gaining in body followed by fine raspberry fruit nuances with a soothing flow. Othmar Kiem & Simon Staffler KEYA, Bardolino di Chiaretto DOC Classico 2020 90 points The 2020 Bardolino Chiaretto Classico Keya opens up with delicate notes of peach skin, dried orange peel and dusty florals. It’s soft and enveloping with a soothing display of ripe melon and cooling herbal tones. The Keya tapers off incredibly long while maintaining vibrancy, as lingering minerality slowly fizzles out under an air of tropical citrus…. Eric Guido KEYA, Bardolino di Chiaretto DOC Classico 2020 16.5/20 Touch of rosiness in the colour of this one. Ultra-crisp white citrus, cooking apples dipped in white pepper and crushed raspberries. The acidity in this wine is electrifying. So racy it tastes as if it’s breaking the speed limit in your mouth. Pomegranate pith. Very appetising…..Tamlyn Curren
