Zenato Valpolicella Superiore

Valpolicella is one of Italy's best-known wines. Unfortunately, many Valpolicellas are of inferior quality. But fortunately, some wineries, such as Zenato, ensure that this is absolutely not the case.

The secret of Zenato's success is the constant pursuit of quality, driven by determination and passion. This applies not only to the prestigious wines but also to the "everyday" wines.

The grapes for the Zenato Valpolicella Superiore come from the classic core zone of the Valpolicella region. In this zone around Sant'Ambrogio are the best single vineyards for Valpolicella. After a maceration lasting about seven days, which gives the wine its deep dark color that already tends toward a dense garnet red, the wine is aged traditionally for 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels.

On the nose, fine aromas prevail, reminiscent of cherries, wild berries, and herbs. In the mouth, the Valpolicella is velvety with soft tannins and a full body. Beautiful balance with a velvety finish.
