Zenato 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
4365Product Details
Zenato Amarone is a blend of Corvina and Rondinella, with a
touch of Croatina and Oseleta. Corvina is prized not only for its intense
marasca cherry flavor, but also its ability to withstand the drying
process. Used in small quantities Rondinella also fares well in drying,
and contributes dark color and an alluring floral note. Oseleta provides
tannic structure and minerality; while Croatina is introduced to add youthful
fruitiness. All this attention to detail pays off in a wine that is immediately
approachable yet unmistakably ageworthy.
Tasting Notes Ruby red in
color, intoxicating aromas of dried black cherries, cassis, truffles, and
chocolate fudge leap out of the glass. The resulting wine is silky, luscious,
and complex, with a lingering finish. Pair
this wine with osso bucco, Bordelaise sauces, wild boar ravioli, or grilled
cowboy ribeyes. Winemaker notes
