Description
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.
An extremely balanced wine suitable for long-term ageing. Enjoy up to 20 years from vintage.
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.
