This extraordinary Amarone from Zenato is made primarily from the Corvina grape, supplemented with Rondinella and Oseleta. Grown in the Valpolicella region, where limestone-rich soils and warm microclimates contribute to the grape’s richness and complexity. The 2013 vintage underwent traditional appassimento—a drying process that concentrates the flavors before a lengthy fermentation. It matured in oak barrels for several years, developing layers of dark fruits, chocolate, spice, and a velvety mouthfeel. The wine has earned critical acclaim, often noted for its robust structure and age-worthy potential, reflecting the winery’s dedication to quality since its founding.
