The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

The Zenato Valpolicella Classico Superiore is a magnificent example of the craftsmanship and tradition of the Zenato winery, located in the heart of the historic Valpolicella region in Veneto, Italy. This wine, a blend of 85% Corvina Veronese, 10% Rondinella, and 5% Corvinone, is a true representative of the regional heritage. The grapes grow on calcareous and mineral-rich soils on hilly terrains, giving the wine its characteristic mineral and fruity notes. The hand-harvesting and careful selection of the grapes ensure that only the finest fruit is used in the production of this wine. After traditional maceration, crucial for extracting color and tannins, the wine undergoes a gentle pressing and is then aged for approximately 12 months in oak barrels, further refining its structure and complexity.

Upon pouring, the ruby ​​red color of the Zenato Valpolicella Classico Superiore immediately catches the eye, a visual promise of the quality and depth this wine has to offer. The nose is seduced by delicate and characteristic aromas of sour cherries and forest fruits, creating a fresh and inviting first impression. These fruity notes are complemented by subtle hints of spice and a light woody note, derived from aging in oak barrels. The combination of these aromas makes the wine complex and appealing, perfect for a full olfactory experience before the first sip.

The Zenato Valpolicella Classico Superiore has a rich and layered palate. It offers a wonderful balance between mineral dryness and a velvety texture, resulting in an elegant and well-structured palate. Ripe red fruit flavors blend with a delicate spiciness, and the soft tannins create a pleasant, long, and satisfying finish. This wine is an excellent accompaniment to a variety of culinary dishes, such as pasta dishes with rich sauces, red meat, and various grilled or roasted meats. The versatility and elegance of the Zenato Valpolicella Classico Superiore make it a favorite for both everyday and special occasions, with every sip reflecting the rich history and expertise of the Zenato winery.
