This iconic red from Veneto offers remarkable complexity and structure, making it a standout wine for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a truly distinctive Italian experience.
Established in 1960 by Sergio Zenato, the Zenato winery is a family-run estate celebrated for its dedication to indigenous grape varieties from the Lake Garda area. They are renowned as a benchmark producer in the region, masterfully balancing tradition with innovation to craft wines of exceptional quality and character.

In the glass, this wine displays a deep, impenetrable ruby-red color. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing a symphony of ripe black cherries, plums, and sweet spices, layered with hints of chocolate and tobacco. On the palate, the Zenato Cresasso Corvina Veronese 1,5L is full-bodied and velvety, with a robust structure, well-integrated tannins, and a long, persistent finish that echoes the dark fruit notes.
To fully appreciate its depth, serve this magnificent wine at a temperature of 16-18°C (60-64°F) after allowing it to breathe for at least an hour. The Zenato Cresasso Corvina Veronese 1,5L pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as grilled red meats, braised game, and mature, hard cheeses.
