Zenato Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOC

This wine shows an excellent fullness, majestic aromas and an outstanding balance among all components, giving it ideal potential for prolonged ageing. The Zenato Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a sensational masterpiece of taste and fragrance. The Amarone has an impressive elegance, ripe fruit and an inviting bouquet. It is ruby-red in colour and shows fine hints of aromatic herbs. On the palate, the wine is impressively powerful, with warm, rich nuances of wild cherry and chocolate. The Amarone is a little jewel in the range of Zenato wines. It is made of the excellent Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta and Croatina grapes, which come from the Valpolicella Classico region from the municipalities of Sant'Ambrogio, Negrar, Pedemonte, Fumane, San Pietro in Cariano and Marano. The grapes are harvested and picked by hand and subsequently dried for a period of three months. As a consequence, much of the liquid evaporates, resulting in berries that are extremely rich in sugar. After fermentation, the wine matured for 30 months in oak casks and for a further 12 months in the bottle.

Zenato

Das Weingut Zenato liegt in der Moränen-Landschaft von Lugana und Valpolicella in San Benetto in Norditalien. Es ist eingebettet in der malerischen Landschaft am Gardasee. Mit ihrem milden Klima und unvergleichlichen Charme ist diese Weinanbaugegend weltberühmt geworden. Die Weinberge von Zenato umfassen 75 Hektar, auf denen neben Merlot auch die Rebsorten Corvina, Rondinella, Sangiovese und Oseleta angebaut werden.

Im Jahr 1960 übernahm Sergio Zenato das Weingut und versuchte, neue Techniken der Weinherstellung zu entwickeln. Er investierte in die Entwicklung der Mutterreben, um Wein von höchster Qualität zu erhalten. Heute ist seine Frau Carla, zusammen mit ihren Kindern Alberto, Nadia und Sergio, mit der gleichen Begeisterung und Beharrlichkeit in der Leitung von Zenato Weine tätig. In über 60 Ländern der Welt sind Zenato Weine bekannt.

Zenato Riserva Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
Magistral smell and taste sensation!Amarone has an impressive elegance in the center and an inviting bouquet of ripe fruit. Deep ruby red with hints of fine herbs.On the palate, the powerful, warm and rich flavorinfluences, including wild cherries and chocolate, very impressive.Excellent for a lifetime ...The absolute 'king' of this region, made from only the best grapes of exceptionally good harvests. Hand picked and selected and the grapes are let to dry out for several months with the result that much of the moisture in the grapes evaporates allowing the grapes to be very rich in sugars.The best and ripest Corvina grapes supplemented with a little Rondinella and Sangiovese. After fermentation the wine is matured in Slavonian oak casks for four years and then another 12 months in bottle.

Cherry red colour with very lively lights in the glass and garnet veins. In the nose there is a strong varietal grassy note that pleasantly recalls a Bordeaux nose. On the palate there is agreeable sweetness very well integrated with notes of sage and green bell pepper, good tannic concentration with spicy nuances. Gastronomical combinations: the ideal match are game, grilled meat and mature cheeses.

Zenato Valpolicella Superiore 0,375 l (Halbflasche)
The Zenato Valpolicella is somewhat similar to the Bardolino; however, the Valpolicella is a little more powerful and shows a fuller body – it is simply of better quality. The wine consists of Corvina Veronese (responsible for the bouquet and the acidity), Rondinella (lots of sugar) and Sangiovese (gives the wine its elegance). This is a wine that can be enjoyed young, but another few years of ageing in the wine cellar will further enhance its qualities. For years, Valpolicella has been one of Italy’s most famous wines. Unfortunately, one can find many Valpolicella wines of poor quality on the market but fortunately, we don’t have to worry about this as far as Zenato wines are concerned, as Zenato produces only high-quality wines.
