The wine's full body and balanced acidity contribute to its overall harmony and elegance. The Cà dei Frati Amarone is a versatile partner for culinary pairings. It is an exquisite accompaniment to hearty dishes such as grilled meats, game, and aged cheeses. Its rich character also makes it a wonderful wine to savor on its own, perhaps after a satisfying meal. The aromas are intense, with hints of dried fruit, cherry liqueur, spice and chocolate. The Cà dei Frati winery is a family-owned estate with a long history of winemaking in the Lugana region of Lombardy. The family has been making wine for four generations, and their commitment to quality and tradition is evident in every bottle they produce. The winery is located on the shores of Lake Garda, and the cool breezes from the lake help to moderate the climate and create ideal growing conditions for the grapes. With its profound depth, elegant structure, and lingering finish, this Amarone promises a truly unforgettable wine experience. Serve at 18°C, let the wine breathe for at least an hour and enjoy it!
