2018 Ca dei Frati Pietro dal Cero 750ml

Experience the soulful homecoming of the Dal Cero family with the 2018 Ca' dei Frati "Pietro dal Cero" Amarone della Valpolicella 750ml at VS Liquor. This monumental wine represents a full circle for the winery; while Ca' dei Frati is the undisputed master of Lugana, this cuvée marks their return to the family’s ancestral lands in eastern Verona. Dedicated to their father, Pietro, this Amarone is crafted from a traditional blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Croatina. The grapes undergo a meticulous four-month "appassimento" (drying process) in small boxes to concentrate sugars and aromatics before a slow fermentation and an expansive aging regimen: 24 months in barrique, 12 months in steel, and a final 24 months in the bottle.
