Wine Description
Cresasso is named for the soil in which it is grown, which is full of small stones: "sasso" translates as stone, and "cre" is the prefix of cretaceous. While the terrain was far from easy to cultivate, the native Corvina Veronese reaches optimal ripeness here. Cresasso is the product of many years of study and patience on the part of the Zenato family who sought to craft a wine that truly encapsulates the uniqueness of this special terroir.
Tasting Notes
Cresasso has a rich garnet color which holds to the rim. On the nose one senses red fruits such as tart black cherries, plums and tobacco—all very characteristic of the Corvina grape. On the palate the wine is soft and elegant, with a pitch-perfect balance for which the wines of Zenato have come to be known. Ideal with rich cream pasta with truffles, Italian sausage with broccoli rabe or roasted veal and pork.
