Wine Description
Zenato Amarone is a blend of hand-picked Corvina, Rondinella, Croatina and Oseleta, which are left to raisin in a well-ventilated room until January. After pressing, the juice macerates with the skins for almost a month while fermenting into the delicious wine that is Amarone. The wine is then aged in French oak for about two years followed by one year in bottle. Enjoy now or cellar for future enjoyment.
Tasting Notes
Ruby-red in color with intoxicating aromas of dried black cherry, cassis, truffles, chocolate fudge and tar. This wine is silky, luscious and complex, with a lingering finish, and pairs perfectly with hearty game stews, roasted meats and mature cheeses.

Spectator Selections:HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
“Wonderful aromas of black licorice and blueberry lead to a full body, with juicy, round tannin. Luscious and decadent. Might be better on toast! A gorgeous wine, this is the real deal for Amarone. Why wait?”
