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.

Ripe with power and personality, this pretty Amarone reflects local tradition and territory. Bright aromas of wild berry and red apple are followed by fuller nuances of spice, chocolate and tobacco. The wine feels rich and satisfying thanks to its natural density and concentration.

Pietro Zardini 2005 Leone Zardini Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $60
Hot fruit and syrupy cherry or blackberry aromas open the bouquet of this brawny Amarone (that clocks in at 16% alcohol). The mouthfeel is exceedingly round and supple and the wine ends with a jammy note of sweet fruit. Leone Zardini will appeal to those who like a bold style.

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.

Cherry, spice and cedar wood come into immediate focus as soon as you put your nose in the glass of this ruby red dessert wine. The mouthfeel is tight and firm with solid backbone and deep chocolate flavors.
