Description
The Amarone is a small jewel in the range of Zenato wines. It is made from the excellent Corvina, Rondinella, Oselta and Croatina grapes, which come from the Valpolicella Classico region of the municipalities of Sant'Ambrogio, Negrar, Pedemonte, Fumane, San Pietro in Cariano and Marano. Hand harvested and selected, after which these grapes are left to dry for three months with the result that much of the moisture in the grapes evaporates, making the grapes very rich in sugars. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 30 months in oak barrels and then for another 12 months in the bottle.
The Zenato Amarone della Valpolicella Classico has a beautiful yet typical dark ruby red Amarone color. The Amarone has an impressive elegance with ripe fruit and an inviting bouquet. Deep ruby red in color with fine hints of aromatic herbs. On the palate the powerful, warm and rich flavor influences, including wild cherries and chocolate, are impressive. This wine is recommended with roasted and grilled meat and matured cheeses. Eric Guido from Vinous ends his review of the 2018 (see full review texts next to image) with: My hat is off to Zenato.
