Grape varieties and vinification The absolute 'king' of this area, made from only the very best grapes from exceptionally good harvests. Hand harvested and selected, after which these grapes are left to dry for several months, with the result that much of the moisture in the grapes evaporates and the grapes are therefore very rich in sugars. The very best and ripest Corvina grapes supplemented with a little Rondinella and Sangiovese. After fermentation, the wine matures for 4 years in Slavic oak barrels and then for another 12 months in the bottle. Tasting note Magisterial smell and taste sensation! The Amarone has an impressive elegance with ripe fruit in the center and an inviting bouquet. The Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Sergio Zenato has a deep ruby red color in the glass with beautiful notes of aromatic herbs. On the palate the powerful, warm and rich flavor influences, including wild cherries and chocolate, are impressive. A fantastic wine with roasted meat, grilled steak and mature cheeses. Serve it with a piece of Fiorentina - success guaranteed.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving De 2018 Zenato Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Sergio Zenato laat een diepe robijnrode gloed zien met rijke aromas van rijp fruit, kruiden en subtiel chocolade, terwijl in de mond krachtige tonen van wilde kersen en een weelderige wijnstructuur zich ontvouwen. Deze wijn past perfect bij geroosterd rundvlees, gegrilde steak en gerijpte kazen door zijn volle body, zachte tannines en warme, lang aanhoudende afdronk die de rijkdom van stoofgerechten extra benadrukt. Voor extra harmonie serveert u de wijn licht gekoeld maar niet koud en laat u hem decanteren zodat de aroma's volledig kunnen openen, waarna een langzaam geroosterd Fiorentina stuk het plaatje compleet maakt.
