Venetian Amarone "Pietro Junior" Pietro Zardini is a red wine which embodies all the classicism of the appellation. Perfumes in the nose become intensely enveloping, preparing a sip of great compactness and concentration, in which the strength of the alcoholic content is balanced by a fresh backbone, which feeds a full drink. A perfect bottle for those evenings in which meat is the protagonist, but it can also be sipped away from the meal, as a meditation wine.
This "Pietro Junior" signed by Pietro Zardini is an Amarone which comes from a blend of 70% of Corvina, as well as Rondinella and Molinara. Vines grow on mainly red and brown soils, rich in detritus, calcareous marls and basalts. Clusters are carefully selected during manual harvesting, to be placed in boxes. After that they are slowly dried for a total of about 90 days. Then the traditional fermentation on skins takes place for a total period of about 4-5 weeks. The wine is then transferred in barrique and in oak casks for three years, at the end of which it is ready to be bottled.
