Organoleptic sheet as follows
Visual examination: Rich, deep ruby red, intense with granatic reflections of great brightness.
Olfactory examination: Explosive, complex and elegant. Opens with pronounced notes of cherry jam, prunes, amarena under spirit and dried plum, followed by refined hints of dark chocolate, cacao, coffee, tobacco and sweet spices.
Taste examination: On the palate it is powerful, warm and balsamic. The structure is imposing yet supported by velvety tannins and an extraordinary mineral freshness that balances the alcohol level, delivering a never-ending finish.
Food pairings
Great game and wild meat dishes (wild boar, roe deer)
Braised and Amarone-style stews, pot roasts
Extra-aged cheeses (e.g., Parmigiano Reggiano over 36 months) and complex blue cheeses (spicy Gorgonzola)
Perfect also as a “meditation wine” at the end of a meal

Winery and producer notes
A Tribute to Origins: This wine represents the tribute that the sons Igino, Gian Franco and Anna Maria wanted to dedicate to their father Pietro Dal Cero, founder of the modern winery and originally from Valpolicella (Luxinum/Tregnago), before the family moved to Sirmione on Lake Garda.
Prolonged maturation: Produced only in the best vintages from vineyards in the municipality of Tregnago, the Pietro Dal Cero Amarone follows a long withering process of the grapes of over 4 months, followed by 24 months of aging in wooden casks and a long bottle rest.
