Amarone Riserva “Sergio Zenato” is produced only in excellent vintages, from a selection of grapes Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta, and Croatina coming from the oldest vineyards in Costalunga estate in Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella. The particular low yields have led to a wine of great concentration, with aroma of vanilla and fruits, an intense and long lasting taste.
It all started in 1960 with his father Sergio Zenato, who with energy and ambition, animated by his deep bond with the territory, experimented with new winemaking techniques and invested on native vines, to obtain wines of the highest quality. Today, his wife Carla together with his sons Alberto and Nadia, with the same passion, tenacity and infinite dedication, make Sergio’s great company grow, spreading the excellence of Zenato wines in over 60 countries of the world. Thus, the soul of the Lugana territories and the heart of Valpolicella continue to expand their borders. The vineyards extend for 75 hectares in the Zenato estate of S. Cristina in San Benedetto di Lugana, suited to Trebbiano di Lugana and in the Costalunga estate in Valpolicella, home of the famous Amarone Zenato, which is home to the renowned Corvina, Rondinella and Oseleta vines.
The grapes are left to raisin dry for 3-4 months in small trays (only one layer), well-spaced out to allow good air circulation. The wine pressing takes place in January through de-stemmer and pre-maceration of the skins on the must. Skin contact fermentation lasted 15-20 days, then the wine has been aged in 75 hl. Slavonian oak barrels for 48 months.
