Shipping calculated at checkout.

CHARACTERISTICS
Production Area	Veneto
Varietal	Corvina, Rondinella, other indigenous or recommended varieties to finish
Wine Making	After careful raisining, the grapes undergo a soft destemming and crushing process at the beginning of February; the must and marc are then fermented for a long time. Successively, after several rackings, the wine is transferred to special large oak barrels for an ageing process which lasts more than 3 years
Aging	A small part, about 15%, is aged in barriques: when added back to the wine in the large barrels it transmits its special characteristic hints. Finally, the PietrAmara is bottled but is only put on sale 6-8 months later when the ageing process has finished.
Analytical Data	Alcohol 15% vol
Tasting Notes	Robust, full and warm, the bouquet recalls black cherries in alcohol, liquorice, and leather and has a slight hint of wood.
Serving Recommendations	Excellent with roasts and game, also ideal with very mature and/or piquant cheeses.
Vintage	2015
