Zenato Amarone della Valpolicella DOC Classico Riserva

A truly exceptional Amarone, produced only in outstanding vintages. Zenato employs the traditional fermentation techniques reserved for all Amarone wines. The wine then undergoes extended aging of at least four years in large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by 12 months of bottle aging. Alberto Zenato is proud of this flagship wine, which only leaves the cellar on the southern shore of Lake Garda after a further year of bottle aging, before delighting connoisseurs worldwide with its refined richness. Falstaff 2020: 95 points for the 2015 vintage; Decanter 2020: Gold, 94 points for the 2015 vintage; James Suckling 2020: 98 points for the 2015 vintage; Wine Spectator 2020: 94 points for the 2015 vintage; Wine Advocate writer Antonio Galloni recommends that his readers "make every effort to taste the wines of this great vintage."

Sergio Zenato

The Zenato winery was founded in 1960 by Sergio Zenato and is today, after his death, managed by his wife Carla and their children Alberto and Nadia. Located south of Lake Garda, the family business has around 95 hectares of vineyards in two of the most renowned locations in Northern Italy: Valpolicella and Lugana. Both growing regions are among the best of their kind and give Zenato's wines their unmistakable origin.

On the mineral-rich soils around the lake, grape varieties such as Corvina, Rondinella, Trebbiano, Merlot, Garganega and Chardonnay thrive – a variety that is typical of the region and forms the basis for the winery's different styles. The mild microclimate on Lake Garda, characterized by warm days and balancing winds from the lake, ensures even ripening of the grapes and thus creates the perfect conditions for quality in every vintage.

From a family business to an internationally respected name: Zenato now exports its wines within Italy, throughout Europe and now to the USA. Around two million bottles are produced annually – and despite this size, the demand for artisanal quality and terroir loyalty remains the foundation of every bottle that leaves the house today.
