The wine gets all the attention. After 30 months of aging in oak barrels, followed by another 12 months of rest in Zenato's cellars, a true masterpiece of Italian elegance is born. This Zenato Amarone Riserva is sensational from start to finish. The party begins the moment you open this Italian wine. Poke your nose into the glass and be amazed: black fruit, red fruit, spices, vanilla, and raisins. If this isn't exquisite, we don't know what is. Take a sip. Wow! Complexity and ripeness. Black fruit and ripe plums. Take another sip: you'll discover vanilla and chocolate. The next sip reveals yet other flavors: tobacco and even a hint of canal. Every sip is an explosion of aromas. Each time, you'll be surprised. Our motto for the Zenato Amarone Riserva is clear: Excellent for a lifetime!

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
The crown jewel from the Zenato wine cellars. If Zenato Amarone is the king of Italian wines, then this Zenato Amarone Riserva is surely the emperor. We know it for sure. This is the best you'll ever drink. We were already huge fans of its sibling: the "regular" Amarone, but when we got to taste this Italian wine, we were a bit speechless. Only the very best grapes are hand-selected for this phenomenal wine. The grapes are first dried for three months, after which they are pressed. The result is a concentrated gem.
