Description
Still red Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG, 16% ABV, produced by Ca dei Frati. Blend: Corvina, Corvinone, Croatina, Rondinella. 0.75 L bottle, 2018 vintage. An Amarone that embodies the passion and dedication of the Dal Cero family, with a history dating back to 1939. Aged in barrique for 24 months, followed by 12 months in steel and 24 months in bottle. The fruit is exuberant, with a delightful black cherry that blends with notes of chocolate and sweet spices. A deep ruby color that captivates with its timbre and intensity. The finesse elevates the floral component of purple rose. Balsamic notes emerge more and more convincingly, with hints of star anise and wild mint. The tertiary elements are subtle, revealing pleasant notes of arabica and gentle tobacco. A complex and enveloping wine, perfect for pairing with red meats, aged cheeses, and rich dishes.

It was in 1939 when Felice Dal Cero, son of Domenico, already a winemaker in Montecchia Crosara in Verona, moved in that house, Lugana of Sirmione, sensing immediately the wine-growing area.
After 30 years of work in the vineyard and winery in 1969, his son Peter participated in the creation of Doc started to bottle its first Lugana Casa dei Frati label.
Today, with his wife Santa Rosa cultural heritage has been passed on to children Igino, Gian Franco and Anna Maria who run the company with the same passion and determination.
Mutual respect, the union of the family, defined roles and the link to their territory on the shores of Lake Garda, represent the true strength of the Dal Cero family
