Organoleptic sheet according to senses
Visual examination: Deep, intense ruby red with garnet highlights of great brilliance.
Olfactory examination: Explosive, complex and elegant. Opens with pronounced notes of cherry jam, prunes, dried sour cherry and dried plum, followed by refined hints of dark chocolate, cocoa, roasted 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 by an extraordinary mineral freshness that balances the alcohol level, giving a interminable finish.
Food pairings
Great dishes of game and wild game (wild boar, roe deer)
Braised and Amarone-style stews, slow-cooked beef
Extra-aged cheeses (e.g., Parmigiano Reggiano over 36 months) and complex blue-veined cheeses (Pungent Gorgonzola)
Also perfect as a “meditation wine” at the end of a meal

Curiosities about the winery and producer
An homage to the origins: This wine represents the homage 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 located in the municipality of Tregnago, the Pietro Dal Cero Amarone undergoes a long drying process of the grapes lasting more than 4 months, followed by 24 months of aging in wooden casks and a subsequent long bottle aging.
