    The extremely popular and elegant Amarone classic from Zenato comes from Sant'Ambrogio, the heart of the Valpolicella Classico, where the family has had its home since 1960. Corvina dominates the cuvée with eighty per cent, complemented by Rondinella, Oseleta and Croatina – all from the slopes of the Costalunga parcel. After the hand harvest in October, the ritual of appassimento begins: the grapes rest for four months in shallow crates, losing water and concentrating sugar and flavours. Pressing does not take place until January, followed by slow fermentation with skin contact. The wine then matures for thirty-six months in large Slavonian oak barrels before being released after further maturation in the bottle.

    Deep ruby red with garnet-coloured reflections. The nose opens with dried cherries, plums and marasca cherries, accompanied by laurel, chocolate and a hint of roasted coffee. The majestic structure of Amarone is revealed on the palate – powerful, velvety, with a perfectly integrated tannin structure and impressive length. A wine for game dishes, ossobuco and special moments by the fireside. SUPERIORE.DE

    "Deep black ruby red colour. Very fragrant, inviting nose of elderberries, cassis, dried violets and dark chocolate, fine wood. Hearty on the palate, with exciting fruit and tightly woven tannins, plus beautiful ripeness and great length with savoury aromas." Falstaff

    "Restrained fruitiness with flavours of raspberry and earth, alongside a complex spice blend of freshly ground black pepper, milk, mint, bay leaf and cocoa powder. Very youthful. Full-bodied, dense and balanced, with spicy flavours of chocolate and cherries, super-delicious style, taut, chalky yet ripe tannins and a fresh, cleansing acidity. Toasty finish." James Suckling
