Crafted with patience and precision, Zenato Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2018 is a powerful expression of tradition from the heart of Veneto. Made using the classic appassimento method—where Corvina, Rondinella, and Oseleta grapes are dried for months to concentrate their flavors—this Amarone delivers remarkable richness and depth.
On the nose, it opens with aromas of dried cherries, dark plum, tobacco leaf, and cocoa, accented by hints of spice and vanilla from extended oak aging. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with layers of ripe black fruit, fig, leather, and a touch of espresso. A long, smooth finish lingers with warmth and elegance.
Perfect for aging or savoring now with hearty dishes, braised meats, aged cheeses, or simply on its own as a meditative wine.
