Amarone Valpol DOC Pietro dal Cero FRATI 750ml 2012

Pietro Dal Cero
Amarone della Valpolicella Docg

There was a time when the Dal Cero family were Veronese.

Today Igino, Gian Franco and Anna Maria return to the eastern lands of Verona, the birthplace of their father Pietro, to whom this bottle is dedicated, to reaffirm their history
and savour the wind of those places.
They do so with a wine that is emblematic of Veronese wine production in the world, Amarone. The ruby colour is captivating for its timbre and intensity. The fruit is
exuberant with a pleasant black cherry that blends with notes of chocolate and sweet spices.
The finesse elevates the floral component and the purple rose. Balsamic notes emerge more and more convincingly, with hints of star anise and wild mint.
The tertiary elements are subtle and allow one to perceive pleasant notes of arabica and light tobacco. On the table it finds its maximum expression with mature cheeses,
long cooked meats, braised meats and game.
