We can now consider Zenato Winery the doyen of Italian wines. This great winery innovates at a rapid pace and continually introduces new wines to the wine-drinking public. The winery is located in San Benedetto, on the south shore of the famous Lake Garda, west of the touristy fishing village of Peschiera del Garda. This is where Sergio Zenato founded his winery. Now, the second generation has ensured that Zenato Winery is available in over 60 countries.
Zenato's wines embody the quintessential Italian wine. Major Venetian names like Amarone, Soave, and Ripasso are all part of their range. This means the vineyards primarily feature local grape varieties. However, Zenato's expertise extends far beyond the vineyards, and you'll also find international stars. Among them is a very distinctive Merlot. This grape variety has a reputation for being dull and flat. Thanks to its aging in Slavonian and French oak, this Zenato Merlot Della Garda is anything but a dull glass of wine. Its spiciness in the aroma and flavor makes it perfectly suited to accompany a piece of meat, but prepared in the Italian style.
