Caterina Zardini Amarone

This bold and seductive Amarone Riserva opens with a warm, complex bouquet of macerated black cherries, prunes, and dried roses, beautifully accented by sweet vanilla, cocoa powder, and freshly cracked black pepper. On the full-bodied palate, it is rich, powerful, and velvety, wrapping concentrated dark fruit and bitter-orange chocolate flavors around grainy, firm tannins and a savory, mineral-laced backbone. The finish is remarkably long, warm, and persistent.

Food Pairing: A phenomenal partner for braised wild boar, roasted venison, prime char-grilled ribeye steaks, mature hard cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano, or simply enjoyed on its own as a meditation wine.
