Zenato Amarone della Valpolicella Classico

An Amarone from Zenato, made from Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara, Oseleta and Croatina. The grapes are hand-harvested in late October from vineyards in Sant'Ambrogio with calcareous soils, moraine clay and rock fragments. They are dried in ventilated rooms for three to four months, then pressed around February and fermented for 15 to 20 days at 23 to 25 degrees. The wine ages for 36 months in oak barrels before bottling. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, tobacco, leather and cinnamon are among its prominent elements.
