Amarone della Valpolicella 1,5 l Magnum DOCG - Zenato

If you hold the glass at a slight angle, you can see a transition in color towards the edges of this barrel-aged wine. The bouquet of this red wine from Veneto seduces with hints of plum, damson, morello cherry and blackberry. If we explore the aromas further, the oak wood adds juniper, Mediterranean herbs and green peppers.

The Zenato Amarone della Valpolicella Magnum impresses with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine, this Italian naturally delights with the finest balance despite its dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily need residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully fleshy and powerful. The finish of this red wine from the Veneto wine-growing region, or more precisely from Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG, ultimately impresses with a good aftertaste.

Vinification of the Zenato Amarone della Valpolicella Magnum

The basis for the powerful Amarone della Valpolicella Magnum from Veneto are grapes from the Croatina, Corvina, Oseleta and Rondinella grape varieties. The grapes for this red wine from Italy are harvested exclusively by hand when they are perfectly ripe. After harvesting, the grapes are transported to the press house as quickly as possible. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in small oak barrels at controlled temperatures.
