Ca' dei Frati Amarone della Valpolicella Pietro Dal Cero 2012
There was a time when the members of the Dal Cero family were from Verona. Today, Igino, Gian Franco and Anna Maria have returned to the lands east of Verona, the birthplace of their father Pietro, to whom this bottle is dedicated, in order to retrace their history and savour once more the wind of those places. This they do with an emblematic wine of Verona wine production in the world, the Amarone.

Colour

Ruby colour captivates with its tone and intensity.

Bouquet

The fruit is exuberant with a very pleasurable sour cherry taste, merged with hints of chocolate and sweet spices.

Flavour

The subtlety enhances the floral component of the purple rose. Balsamic notes emerge with increasing conviction, along with hints of star anise and wild gooseberry.

Pairing

It finds its utmost expression at the table with seasoned cheeses, well-cooked meats, braised dishes and game.
