Description

Zenato Amarone is a blend of Corvina and Rondinella, with a touch of Croatina and Oseleta. Corvina is prized not only for its intense marasca cherry flavor, but also its ability to withstand the drying process. Used in small quantities Rondinella also fares well in drying, and contributes dark color and an alluring floral note. Oseleta provides tannic structure and minerality; while Croatina is introduced to add youthful fruitiness. All this attention to detail pays off in a wine that is immediately approachable yet unmistakably ageworthy.

Veneto

Veneto, in northeastern Italy, is praised for its diverse wine styles. The region produces excellent Prosecco, a sparkling wine made from the Glera grape, and Amarone della Valpolicella, a robust red wine made from dried grapes. Veneto also excels in producing Soave, a crisp white wine. The wines from this region are characterized by their balance, vibrant acidity, and distinctive regional character. Prosecco is known for its light, fruity flavors and refreshing bubbles, while Amarone offers rich, concentrated flavors of dried fruit and spice. Soave wines are celebrated for their crisp acidity and flavors of citrus and green apple.
