Pietro Zardini 2001 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $57
An impressive ensemble from the newest generation of a winemaking family, this rich wine boasts great Amarone typicity and does so in a confident, determined manner. Almond, black cherry and ripe blueberry are backed by just enough acidity to appear taut and fresh. The wine conveys warmth and harmony over a long, dusty finish.

Pietro Zardini 2006 Austero Red (Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso)
- Online Exclusive
Austero is indeed an austere wine with thick intensity and loads of fragrant aromas of spice and ripe cherry. In the mouth, it proves an elegant and perhaps slightly thinner interpretation of Ripasso that would work well with pork or lamb chops.
