The production of this Ca dei Frati Pietro dal Cero Amarone is complex and rigorous. Various indigenous grape varieties are used for this Italian wine. The vineyards are located in the most beautiful locations Verona has to offer. Only after several harvests was it possible to achieve the quality for which Ca dei Frati is now renowned. Because patience is the key to a beautiful wine. After a hand harvest and strict selection (only the best grapes are allowed to be part of this excellent Italian wine), the wine is fermented. And that's not all. First, the wine is aged for 24 months in oak barrels. Then it is aged for another 12 months in steel to create freshness. Finally, the bottle is aged for another 24 months in the bottle. Only after five years, and only with the winemaker's permission, may the bottle leave the Ca dei Frati cellars. The result is a magnificent Italian wine.
Time to savor this Italian wine. Enjoy this gem twice over, because you don't just taste something like it. This Amarone was one of the few wines our vinologists had been eagerly anticipating for ages. Pour the wine, and all your senses are on high alert. What ripeness! Use your nose. You'll smell craftsmanship and quality, a beautiful bouquet of herbs, currants, plums, and wild berries. Sit back and take a sip. Be curious and be amazed. You'll taste blackberries, currants, and vanilla. Take another sip. You'll taste sour cherries, wild gooseberries, sweet herbs, and chocolate. Blossom and purple roses. Oak notes. A hint of balsamic vinegar and star anise. Hints of coffee beans and tobacco. This wine never bores. A whole spectrum of flavors rolls past your taste buds. A favorite. A winner. There's only one downside to Ca dei Frati Pietro dal Cero Amarone: the bottle is empty so quickly!
