Description

93 Points Wine.com

Zenato makes our most popular Amarone, and it’s always terrific. It’s a rich, full-bodied wine that’s jam packed full of flavour. A terrific choice on a cool autumn night.

The jewel of Zenato’s production, this wine is made from a selection of top grapes from Valpolicella Classica grown in Sant’Ambrogio township (Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta, and Croatina).

“The 2017 Zenato Amarone is packed and layered on the palate. This wine shines with aromas and flavors of black fruit bright raisins.”

This is a majestic wine, intense, and ethereal, with notes of bay leaf and distillate-cured cherries. The impressive balance between all its components makes it ideal for long-term ageing.

Founded in 1960 by Sergio and Carla Zenato, the Zenato winery was originally based on the production of quality wines from an indigenous varietal, Trebbiano di Lugana. Over time, the winery has been passed to Sergio and Carla’s children, who have maintained and expanded upon this vision. The estate is based in a territory that surrounds Lake Garda, with an extraordinary microclimate that allows for an optimal growing season.
