The Rich History of Zenato
Going back to 1960, we find the origins of the prestigious Zenato winery. Sergio Zenato, with his unstoppable drive and vision, began experimenting with new winemaking techniques. He focused his attention on indigenous vines to produce the very best wines. Zenato's idyllic vineyards, nestled in the hills surrounding Lake Garda, enjoy dry soil and temperate temperatures. Each grape is carefully hand-picked and undergoes a strict selection process. Today, Zenato's passion is continued by Sergio's children, who produce top-quality wines with the same dedication. Thanks in part to their efforts, the Zenato Amarone della Valpolicella Magnum has earned a special place in the hearts of many.

Upon tasting, we experience a velvety-smooth palate, comparable to the comfort of a luxurious duvet. A true treat for the taste buds.
