Mundus Vini: outstanding results for Zenato
1 Grand Gold, 4 Golds and 1 Silver for Zenato at the Summer Mundus Vini Competition.
Well done!!!!
GRAND GOLD
Made from Corvina Veronese, this single-vineyard designate wine is deeply connected to the land where it is grown.
Its intense, deep ruby red color tinges the glass as its thick, lingering legs slide down the edges.
On the nose delicious and enchanting red fruit, blueberry, and blackberry notes that evolve into intense aromas of black cherry, cooked prune, and jam.
It’s ideal for grilled meats, roast meats, game, and grilled sausage. It also pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses and rich tomato sauces prepared with herbs.
GOLD MEDAL
The Zenato Lugana San Benedetto is made from a selection of the best grapes from the eponymous estate. The vineyards are some of the appellation’s most historic and are considered to be among its best.
Rich in personality and with great depth, this wine delivers a wide spectrum of fresh and complex aromas on the nose.
It’s full-bodied and full-flavored in the mouth, with notes that shift from dried apple and pineapple to pear and vanilla. Its long, brilliant finish lingers with delicious results.
Produced with 100 percent Trebbiano di Lugana, this wine brightens up the glass with its straw yellow color.
Its multifaceted nose is aromatic, fresh, and fruity, with notes of grape, peach, citron, grapefruit, and a hint of pineapple, which adds tropical character.
On the palate, the wine is approachable, fresh, and has good minerality.
The second Sansonina red wine, made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc vineyards, is the expression of the enormous potential that the extraordinary terroir of Lake Garda can also express with red varieties.
A Garda red, with its characteristic complexity of the important international varieties involved; easy to drink, fresh, fine and elegant.
Tribute to femininity, even its name evokes the symbol of genesis, the origin of the world and the star that represents the feminine world: “Eve” and “Luna”, creative forces, mystery and inspiration, direct link between the earth and the sk
The jewel of Zenato’s production, this wine is made from a selection of top grapes from Valpolicella Classica grown in Sant’Ambrogio township (Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta, and Croatina).
The grapes are dried for 4 months and crushing is not carried out until January. Slow fermentation with skin contact follows and then the wine is aged for 36 months in large-format Slavonian casks.
It is then aged in bottle before being released
This is a majestic wine, intense, and ethereal, with notes of bay leaf and distillate-cured cherries.
The impressive balance between all its com-ponents makes it ideal for long-term aging.
SILVER MEDAL
As soon as the dried grapes for the winery’s Amarone have completed fermentation, a top selection of Valpolicella grapes “passes over” (ripassa) the Amarone pomace, thus resulting in a second brief fermentation.
This helps to obtain higher alcohol content, deeper color, and rich flavor and aroma. Af-ter aging in French tonneaux for 18-20 months, the wine is cellared for another 6 months in bottle before release.
The process makes for a refined and concentrated wine, extremely smooth and velvety, with vibrant red fruit aromas.
On the palate, it delivers fruity notes and elegant tannin with hints of chocolate and spice. Ripassa has played a highly important role in the Zenato winery’s evolution over the years.
