Guerrieri Rizzardi Villa Rizzardi Classico Amarone Della Valpolicella 2007, D.O.P., Veneto, Italy: There's a freshness on the nose even though this is a very full-bodied, dark-fruited red. Gorgeous aromas and flavours of black cherry liqueur, juicy raspberry jam, dark spices and cigar box. The finish is long, satisfying and dry.
