Zenato Selezione Sergio Zenato Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva is a red wine produced by Zenato winery in the Veneto region of northern Italy. The wine is made from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes, all sourced from the Valpolicella Classico vineyards. The grapes are left to dry in boxes and the resulting Amarone is aged in oak barrels. The wine has a deep ruby red colour and intense aromas of plums, cherries and spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-balanced, with sweet notes of dried fruit, toasted oak and cocoa. The long finish is smooth and velvety, leaving behind a lingering hint of ripe fruits. This is a great expression of the Amarone style, a perfect choice for red meat and game dishes.
