The Zenato Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico is a powerful and elegant expression of its prestigious terroir, renowned for its immense complexity and aging potential. This iconic Italian red wine embodies the pinnacle of the appassimento tradition, delivering a rich, concentrated, and unforgettable tasting experience.
Founded in 1960 by Sergio Zenato, the Zenato winery has become a leading ambassador for the wines of Lugana and Valpolicella. Driven by a passion for native grape varieties and a relentless pursuit of quality, the family-run estate is celebrated for its consistently excellent and expressive wines. Today, under the guidance of Sergio’s children, Alberto and Nadia, Zenato continues to be a benchmark producer, blending tradition with modern winemaking techniques.
In the glass, the Zenato Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico displays a deep, impenetrable ruby-garnet color. The bouquet is intense and ethereal, revealing aromas of dried black cherry, plum, sweet spice, and hints of dark chocolate and tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied, velvety, and exceptionally balanced, with ripe tannins and a long, warming finish that echoes its complex aromatic profile.
For optimal enjoyment, serve this remarkable Amarone at a temperature of 16-18°C (60-64°F) after allowing it to breathe for at least an hour. It pairs magnificently with rich, savory dishes such as braised beef, game stews, roasted lamb, or a platter of well-aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano.
