Zenato Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva is a powerful yet refined expression of the historic Classico zone, made from carefully selected Corvina, Rondinella and related local varieties dried using the traditional appassimento method. The long drying period concentrates aromas, sugars, and structure before slow fermentation and extended aging in large oak casks and French barriques.

In the glass, the wine shows a deep garnet color and complex aromas of dried cherry, plum, dark chocolate, spice, and licorice, supported by notes of tobacco and leather. On the palate it is full-bodied and layered, with velvety but firm tannins and balanced acidity that give elegance and longevity.

The texture is rich yet controlled, avoiding heaviness while delivering depth and persistence. The finish is long, warm, and savory, reflecting both concentration and finesse.

This Riserva represents a classic, age-worthy interpretation of Amarone, well suited to slow-cooked meats, game, aged cheeses, or contemplative tasting on its own.
