Amarone Riserva "Sergio Zenato " is born only in the best vintages from a selection of Corvina, Rondinella and Oseleta, hand-picked in small boxes in the oldest vineyards of Sant'Ambrogio di Valpolicella, in the heart of the appellation. After harvesting, the grapes are left to dry in the lofts for three / four months and, only in January, are they pressed and left to ferment on the skins for 15/20 days. The aging of the wine takes place in oak barrels for at least 4 years, then in the bottle for at least 1 year. Thanks to the long waiting time, the excellence of the vineyards and the work of the Zenato winery, the Amarone Classico Riserva "Sergio Zenato " is a splendid Amarone, with a rich, intense and robust profile, with great personality. The nose releases aromas of black cherry in alcohol, ripe berries, spices and menthol notes. The taste is full, intense, with an exuberant alcoholic strength and a dense tannic texture, with a long, enchanting, slightly almond finish. An Amarone Riserva that carries within it all the personality of the great Venetian wine, with the soul of the Zenato winery.
