Product Notes

Ca' dei Frati Pietro Dal Cero Amarone della Valpolicella wine is a ravishing Italian wine that's gracefully crafted in Lombardy region. Boasting a magnificently balanced spectrum of aromas, from ripe cherries to oaky spices, it treads the tongue with a rich, full-bodied texture. This exquisite Amarone enchants with its complex profile of robust red fruits, sweet spices, and hints of cocoa and tobacco. The long, enveloping finish stays on the palate, signifying its mature, velvety tannins and enduring elegance. An audacious, masterfully crafted wine, it is an exemplary symbol of Italian viticulture. Its lingering warmth and depth makes it an ideal accompaniment to hearty dishes.

Tasting Notes

The ruby colour captivates with its tone and intensity. The fruit is exuberant with a very pleasurable sour cherry taste, merged with hints of chocolate and sweet spices. The subtlety enhances the floral component of the purple rose. Aromatic notes emerge with increasing conviction, along with hints of star anise and wild gooseberry. The tertiary elements are subtle and leave the perception of pleasurable notes of arabica and mild tobacco. It finds its utmost expression at the table with seasoned cheeses, well cooked meats, braised dishes and game.
