Zenato

Bardolino

The Zenato winery possesses a strong link to the richness of its local history and culture, and continues to develop this connection today. The estate is based in a territory that surrounds Lake Garda, with an extraordinary microclimate that allows for an optimal growing season.

Wine Production

A blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes. Once the grapes have been destemmed and pressed, they are left to ferment for 10 days in stainless-steel tanks at a temperature of 26°C. At the end of the fermentation, the wine is separated from the skins by soft pressing.

Tasting Notes

Ruby red in color, this youthful and light red wine shows delicate aromas of cherry and violet. Dry and savory on the palate with hints of almonds.

Food Pairing

Excellent with first courses, white meat, and mild cheeses.
