The Amarone by Pietro Zardini is an austere and deep red wine, aged for about 36 months in oak barrels and barriques. It has a complex and intense bouquet of black cherries, Indian spices, pepper, graphite and humus. The taste is powerful, warm, very structured and persistent. We recommend decanting this bad boy. Made from semi dried grapes, it is an unctuous and rich glass of red and the perfect way to complete a celebratory meal and very special with gruyere cheese pairing. Its limited, so don't delay!
