Zenato Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2018
Produced from the best grapes on the company's vineyard located in the classic Valpolicella area, a land charged with meaning, tradition and food and wine culture. After careful manual selection, the grapes are left to rest in small crates in the drying loft and then gently pressed.

Colour

Deep ruby red.

Bouquet

The nose offers a dark bouquet of ash, peat, humus and potpourri, followed by rhubarb, liquorice root and sandalwood notes and hints of sour cherries, chocolate and sweet tobacco, driven by copious balsamic echoes.

Flavour

Great structure, with evident glyceric mass in relief, balanced by a noble tannic texture and a subtle fresh vein. Long closing, with a tasty trail and spicy hints.

Pairing

It is recommended with roasted meat, grilled meat and aged cheeses. It is also a perfect wine to be enjoyed by itself.
