Description

Zenato's Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a benchmark for the region, offering unparalleled concentration and complexity. This vintage, from 2015, exemplifies the characteristics that make Amarone so special. Crafted from partially dried Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta, and Croatina grapes, the wine showcases a symphony of aromas and flavors. The appassimento process concentrates the grape sugars and flavors, leading to an incredibly rich and intense wine. On the nose, expect inviting aromas of black cherry, dried figs, and cocoa, intertwined with subtle notes of spice and tobacco. The palate is opulent and full-bodied, with layers of dark fruit, mocha, and a hint of balsamic. Silky tannins provide structure, and the long, lingering finish echoes the wine's profound depth. This Amarone has the concentration, elegance and structure that allows for aging of several years. The Zenato family has a long history in Valpolicella, making exceptional wines that embody the region's unique terroir. This Amarone pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes such as braised meats, game, and aged cheeses. It's also a beautiful wine to savor on its own, especially on a cold evening. The wine shows its complexity when accompanying rich and flavorful dishes. Consider it with roasted game, such as venison or wild boar, or with slow-cooked meats like osso buco. It also enhances the flavors of aged cheeses like Parmesan or Pecorino, making it a great choice for after-dinner enjoyment. The wine is a wonderful partner to complex, rich dishes, capable of standing up to strong flavors and bringing harmony to the palate. The wine is bottled for at least two years, which results in a high concentration of flavour.
