Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 2018 Zenato
A precious jewel of Zenato production, it comes from the selection of the best Valpolicella Classica grapes (Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta and Croatina) grown in vineyards in the municipality of Sant’Ambrogio.
The grapes are dried for 4 months, and only in January is crushing begun, which is followed by slow fermentation on the skins and then aging for 36 months in large Slavonian oak barrels.
After a period of aging in the bottle, it is ready to be enjoyed.
Majestic, intense, ethereal wine with notes of bay leaves and cherries in spirit.
The extreme balance of all its components makes it suitable for long aging.
