The Winery

Zenato

Located in the Veneto, Zenato is an established wine house known for its Amarone della Valpolicella, although it also makes a range of other classic varietals from the region such as Pinot Grigio, Soave, and Corvina. Originally founded by Sergio and Carla Zenato in 1960, the project was launched originally to produce the indigenous varietal of Trebbiano di Lugana. Their children are now maintaining and continuing to expand the project; their daughter Nadia oversees the marketing and business side of the company while their son Alberto handles all aspects of production. It was actually Alberto’s idea to begin exploring and producing the Amarone, a wine of local nobility and prestige, and allowed the winery to enter into international markets. The Made in the ripasso method, the flagship Riserva Sergio Zenato is produced from grapes that are dried in a single layer on trays then aged in 7500-liter Slavonian casks for four years.

Tasting Notes

WA92
Here is a bold and opulent red wine from Northeast Italy. The 2012 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico opens to a tarry-black color and dense extraction. This warm vintage feels even richer and denser still. The bouquet reveals dark prune, spice, leather and tobacco. The wine shows some bitterness in the mouth with a thick and penetrating finish that sticks to the sides of your mouth. As you would expect, the finish is long and important in terms of its texture.
JS92
Aromas of dried meats, dried fruits and dried flowers follow through to a full body, juicy tannins and a ripe-fruit finish. Very soft and delicious.
