Pietro ZardiniAustero IGT has an intense ruby red colour with garnet tinges. Elegant bouquet of dark fruits and sweet spices. The balanced body has velvety tannins and rich blackcurrant flavours that extend into hints of vanilla and clove spices.
100% Corvina. The fruit comes from Pietro Zardini's vineyards in the Valpolicella production zone. The vines grow in prevalently red and dark soils rich in debris, calcareous marl and basalt.
Special selection and hand picking of the grapes during the late harvest. Natural drying of the grapes for 1 month. Traditional maceration for 3–4 weeks. The wine ages in oak barrels and barriques for 2 years.
Ageing potential: 4–6 years from vintage.
Deep, fruit-driven and jammy; filled with ripe, rich fruit and a plethora of spices. This style is typified by Australian Shiraz, Sonoma Zinfandel and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Expected typically notes of pepper, spice, raspberry, plum, leather
Passito wines is the use of dried grapes to make wines. The main difference from late harvest is that these wines are often picked when ripe & dried after picking, and can be dried to different levels of moisture. A practice made popular by Italy, it has been adopted in various other regions
