“Austero” Corvina Verona Igt by Pietro Zardini
Austero Corvina Verona IGT by Pietro Zardini stands out as a refined expression of Valpolicella’s most prized grape: Corvina.
Similar to renowned pure Corvina interpretations such as Allegrini’s La Poja or Marion’s Corvina Veronese, Austero highlights the grape’s capacity to deliver elegance and complexity without the traditional blending typical in Valpolicella wines.
Pietro Zardini carefully selects only the finest clusters from late-harvested Corvina vines thriving on Valpolicella’s red and brown soils rich in limestone marls and basaltic layers. The wine achieves its deep, bright ruby color, accented by gentle garnet hues, after undergoing a delicate drying process followed by 3-4 weeks of traditional maceration.
Austero charms with an aromatic profile reminiscent of dried fruits, warm spice, and a graceful velvet touch. Rich and harmonious on the palate, it reveals impressive depth and structure, enhanced through patient oak aging in barrels and barriques for up to two years.
Ideal for enjoyment within 4 to 6 years of bottling and best served at 18°C, Austero pairs superbly with grilled red meats, hearty pasta dishes, and well-aged, fermented cheeses, creating moments of genuine pleasure for lovers of sophisticated, single-varietal wines.

The Pietro Zardini Winery represents an ongoing story deeply connected to Valpolicella, originating in the early 1600s with Leonardo Zardini, a passionate winemaker and the family’s forefather. From humble beginnings in the Valpolicella Classico region, generations of Zardinis have tirelessly cultivated their vines, transforming a modest family farm into the contemporary winery of today.
Each generation has left a distinctive mark: Giacinto, whose determination was legendary; Pietro, admired locally for the powerful oxen he raised; Leone, whose spirit inspired the Amarone Riserva; and finally Pietro Zardini himself, carrying forward their shared passion into modern winemaking.
Today, Pietro blends historical wisdom with contemporary vision, producing wines that combine classic aromas with intriguing nuances. His wines harmoniously balance familiar tastes and innovative methods, connecting the traditions of yesterday with the creativity of today.
About Pietro Zardini
Pietro’s own story began in the old family cellar, Corte Zardini, in San Floriano, surrounded by the scents and sounds of rural life. His formative years were steeped in memories of vineyards, cherry trees, fields worked by hand, and vivid family tales. After specializing in viticulture, Pietro began collaborating at the age of 19 with renowned wineries in the Verona area, developing an approach that reflects both respect for tradition and openness to new ideas.
The result is a unique collection of wines authentically linked to Valpolicella’s past, yet confidently looking towards its future. This vision defines #garantitodapietrozardini, a promise of wines produced thoughtfully and passionately, respecting the rich roots from which they grew.
