Azienda Agricola Guerrieri Rizzardi

Guerrieri Rizzardi is a historic wine producing company in the Veneto region of Northern Italy that is still family owned and managed. This company uniquely owns some of the best vineyard sites in the four most famous wine regions of the Veneto namely Bardolino, Valpolicella, Soave and Valdadige.

The Guerrieri Rizzardi estate was created by the marriage of two of the leading Veronese wine producing families during the last century. The Guerrieri family were owners of a 600 year old estate in Bardolino, which included some of the best vineyards in the surrounding villages. The Rizzardi family originated from Verona and acquired their vineyards in Negrar, Valpolicella in 1678. The Rizzardi family then constructed the historic cellars of Pojega, plus the famous villa and garden of Pojega shortly afterwards.

In 1914 these two families were united by marriage creating the Guerrieri Rizzardi estate. Included in the Guerrieri Rizzardi properties was the smaller estate of Dolcè in Valdadige, which has always been part of the Guerrieri estate. In 1970 these three regions were joined by the purchase in Soave Classico of the vineyards and cellar in Costeggiola and the vineyards at La Rocca.
