Tasting Notes

Leone Zardini Riserva is the producer's pinnacle Amarone — extended ageing reveals additional depth. The nose offers concentrated black cherry, dried plum, fig, dark chocolate, leather, sweet tobacco, and warm spice. The palate is full-bodied with rich texture, integrated tannins, and a remarkably long warming finish — 4.5 Stars Vivino, Gold Mundus Vini, 95 Luca Maroni.
