Zenato's Amarone Classico is produced from the best grapes of the Costalunga estate, in Sant'Ambrogio in the "classic" area of Valpolicella. Fruit of passion and able to surprise those who taste it thanks to the expressive capacity of the vines that compose it.
An Amarone that reflects a land full of meanings and traditions. The altitude of hills exposed to the South-East varies from 300 to 350 meters and the soils are mainly cretaceous and calcareous, with the presence of skeleton. The yields per hectare are below the limit set by the disciplinary and the harvest is rigorously manual. The Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta and Croatina grapes are left to dry in the loft for about 4 months in wooden boxes. When the grapes are deemed ready in the cellar, the grapes are pressed and alcoholic fermentation is started, leaving the must to macerate on the skins for 15-20 days. Refinement is expected in oak barrels for at least 36 months .
Amarone Classico is full and impenetrable ruby red. The nose is ethereal, spicy, notes of ripe cherry almost in alcohol, plum, dried fruit, coffee and cocoa. On the palate it is majestic, soft, velvety , warm and savory on the finish. A wine suitable for ageing, tireless and boundless!
