Awards :  Falstaff Amarone Trophy95 pointsDecanter World Wine Awards97 points Country: Italy  Region: Veneto  Vintage: 2016 Category: Red Wine  Colour: Red Producer: Zenato Produced only in top vintages, this graceful wine is made from a selection of Corvina and Rondinella grapes grown in the oldest vineyards in the township of Sant’Ambrogio in Valpolicella's “classic” zone. Following vinification, it undergoes long-term aging for at least 4 years in Slavonian oak casks. It represents the very identity of the winery and its legacy throughout the world - a wine that can age and be enjoyed for more than 20 years. With luminous and dense color, elegant complexity, and a wonderful touch of spice, it’s a wholehearted expression of the land where it is made. Tasting Note: Ruby red in color, this Amarone Riserva offers dense and smokey aromas of dark cherries, raisins, chocolate, and anise, framed by fruity tannins and a spicy finish. With the level of complexity and balance that this wine shows, it will evolve beautifully for 10+ years.
