Zenato Lugana Riserva "Sergio Zenato"

The fruit is from the Podere Massoni vineyards, with 15- to 20-year-old vines and a very low average yield of 2.5 kg per vine. Harvest occurs somewhat late, towards mid-October. Winemaking is carried out with extreme care. The wine is fermented in barriques for 3 weeks, then matured in small new oak for 4 months, followed by 6 months in steel and 6 months in glass before release.

The wine exhibits a lively light gold, then opens to a rich, multi-layered nose featuring nuances of blossoms, citrus fruit, and vanilla. A beautifully balanced mouth offers stunning richness, then continues through into a remarkably long, savoury finale.

A few years cellaring will be amply rewarded.

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.

Product recommendation

Zenato Ripassa della Valpolicella
Der Zenato Ripassa della Valpolicella aus dem Hause Zenato ist ein überlegt komponiertes Produkt, das die besten Eigenschaften der Valpolicella Weine Venetiens überzeugend vereint. Durch eine zweite Gärung der Partien aus dem Valpolicella und eine sechsmonatige Flaschenlagerung erhält der Wein einen sehr intensiven, langen Charakter.Schon die tiefrote, samtige Farbe lässt erahnen, mit welch breitem Tableau dieser Wein überzeugen wird. Und der Ripassa enttäuscht nicht. Komplexe Beerenaromen begeistern die Nase und den Gaumen. Der äußerst lange Abgang wirkt sanft auf der Zunge nach und ist eine der stärksten Eigenschaften dieses Weins aus Italien.

Zenato Valpolicella Superiore
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.

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.
