If Montesco is the dominant red wine, Rizzardo stands out among white wines. The very name evokes power and importance, coming as it does from that of a fourteenth century warlord and signore from Treviso.

The Rizzardo vineyard was established as an experiment in the 1990s, serving as an observation post for the creation of the Colli di Conegliano DOCG Denomination.

During this initial phase, several white grape varieties were planted to assess their adaptability to the territory. Over time, agronomic observation and natural selection led to favoring the varieties that best express the character of the Colli di Conegliano.

Today the vineyard contains:

• 55% Chardonnay
• 35% Manzoni Bianco
• 10% Sauvignon

Once again, as with Montesco, nature will determine year by year the actual percentages of varieties comprised in the blend.

The result is an elegant, full-bodied wine that ages well and provides authentic thrills.
