Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Pietro dal Cero 2018 - Ca' dei Frati is made from selected Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Croatina grapes sourced from the hillside vineyards of Valpolicella. The limestone and clay soil, combined with an altitude of about 300 meters above sea level, gives this wine its unique character. The grapes are hand-picked between late September and early October, then dried for about 4 months in drying rooms, a traditional technique that intensifies flavors and aromas. This is followed by a slow fermentation lasting 30 to 40 days, with maceration on the skins to enhance aromatic complexity and depth. The wine is aged for at least 24 months in oak barrels, followed by an extended period of bottle aging.
