The Zenato Cresasso Corvina Veronese is a remarkable and powerful expression of Veneto’s signature red grape, showcasing an elegant structure and profound depth. This single-varietal wine is crafted from partially dried grapes, resulting in a bold and concentrated profile that stands as a unique testament to its prestigious terroir.
Established in 1960 by Sergio Zenato, the Zenato winery is a family-run estate renowned for its passionate dedication to the indigenous grapes surrounding Lake Garda. The producer is considered a benchmark for quality in the region, celebrated for both its world-class Lugana whites and its profoundly complex Amarone and Valpolicella reds. Zenato’s unwavering commitment to excellence has cemented its reputation as one of Veneto’s most esteemed and reliable wineries.
This wine pours a deep, intense ruby red, revealing captivating aromas of ripe black cherry, dried plum, and warm spices with a hint of vanilla from oak aging. On the palate, the Zenato Cresasso Corvina Veronese is full-bodied and robust, with a velvety texture, well-integrated tannins, and a rich core of dark fruit. The experience is balanced by a refreshing acidity that leads to a long, persistent, and satisfying finish.
For an optimal tasting experience, serve this exceptional red 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 and flavorful dishes such as grilled steaks, roasted game, braised lamb, and mature, hard cheeses.
