Attractive salmon colour, pleasant bouquet, elegant, fresh on the palate, juicy beautiful fruit, lively acid structure, subtle extract sweetness in the finish. A versatile food companion with a great enjoyment factor! SUPERIORE.DE
"Radiant pink-red. In the fragrance of strawberries and fine kitchen herbs, grapefruit. Spans juicily over the palate, rich, clear fruit core, soft and balanced, on ice candy in the final and remains fruit-sweet over." Falstaff
"Light salmon rosé. Juicy, fruity scent of red plums and ripe mirabelles, also a nice phenolic is recognisable here. Also on the palate the full juicy fruit of stone fruits and green and white berries (gooseberry). Also something vegetal like green herbs and leaves. It also shows a fine minerality. Partner for seafood and light fish dishes." Vinum
"Blend of Groppello, Marzemino, Sangiovese and Barbera in a version of excellent drinkability and equally pleasant finesse. Nose of bergamot, green apple and hawthorn, drinkable with a nice acid shoulder and excellent tension, topped off by a finish with a citrusy return." Luca Gardini

“Pietro dal Cero” Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG 2017
Pietro dal Cero grows on the extensive and sunny Luxinum vineyard at the foot of the Monti Lessini. A magnificent, dark ruby-red Amarone. Its sumptuous aromas range from lovely floral nuances to fruity sour cherry and blackberry to balsamic notes such as star anise and merge into a multi-layered bouquet. On the palate, there are hints of dark chocolate, memories of tobacco, coffee and cardamom as well as a hint of mint. A full-bodied, complex wine, the pronounced tannin caresses the palate velvety, a fresh, lively acidity brings lightness and freshness to the long finish, which benefits from nutty accents. Good ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

It simply has everything a well-rounded Amarone needs." Vinum

When Felice Dal Cero took over the farm founded by Andrea Frati on the southern shore of Lake Garda in a dilapidated state, it was not yet foreseeable that the estate, which had already been mentioned in a document in 1782, would one day produce top-quality wines at an international level. But in the course of time, the Ca' dei Frati winery, based in Lugana di Sirmione, has recently even been able to create new vineyards in a hurry, selling its fine wines more and more successfully all over the world. Felice's son Pietro contributed significantly to the recognition of the region of origin in 1969, two years after the creation of the Lugana DOC, when he marketed the first bottles of Lugana dei Frati. Through improvements in the vineyard and the cellar the quality of the estate wines could be constantly improved. The northern Italian winery is a member of Viticoltori Italiani di Eccellenza, a voluntary association of quality-conscious Italian winegrowers.
Although the Ca' dei Frati winery also produces powerful and impressive red wines, the main focus is on producing the highest quality white wines. For many lovers of Italian white wines, the winery is even the epitome of top wines from Lombardy. Today, Pietro's creative and also down-to-earth children run the company that combines tradition and innovation in the best possible way. Igino has sovereignty in the cellar, Gian Franco takes care of the vineyards and Anna Maria is responsible for marketing and sales.
Lake Garda plays an important role in the quality of Lugana DOC wines. The valley boiler acts also in the autumn like a heat accumulator, so that the temperatures never sink too strongly. The mild climate makes a late harvest of healthy and fully ripened grapes possible. In addition to the local Trebbiano di Lugana and Marzemino grape varieties, the Ca' dei Frati vineyard portfolio also includes Sangiovese and the international varieties Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
The times in which the estate produced grapes for large wineries and bulk wines are long gone. Already in the sixties the farm was completely converted to viticulture. Depending on the vineyard and the degree of ripeness of Igino, the grapes are processed very sensitively in the cellar using state-of-the-art technology. The oenologist constantly explores new ways of vinification and tries to exploit the potential of the terroir and the raw materials even better. With the purchase of the Luxinum vineyard in Valpolicella, the Dal Cero siblings returned from Lombardy to their former homeland of Veneto to dedicate a first-class Amarone to their father. SUPERIORE.DE
