Zenato Amarone Riserva 'Sergio Zenato’ 2016

Intense ruby red colour, becoming garnet red as the years pass. Fruity aromas of cherries and small berries with a touch of spice. The warm and full-bodied palate has a great structure, fine tannins and a soft acidity for a smooth texture. Tastes like Marasca cherry, dark plums, raisins and dried prunes with a wonderful touch of leather, tobacco, chocolate and pepper spice. Fruity, spicy and a wonderful expression of the land where it is made.

80% Corvina, 10% Rondinella and 10% Oseleta. This wine is made from a selection of the best grapes grown in the oldest vineyards in Sant’Ambrogio in the heart of the classic Valpolicella zone. The vineyard has an altitude of 300–350 metres and a southeast exposure. The vines are on average 20-years-old and grow in limey clay soils that are rich in rock fragments.
After harvesting by hand and a careful selection, the grapes are left to rest in the drying loft for 4 months. Without any pressing or crushing, the grapes then go through maceration on skins for 15–20 days at a temperature of 23–25°C. After this, the wine ages in large oak casks for 4 years and goes through refinement in bottle for at least a year.
