95 hectares of top vineyards in Lugana and Valpolicella’s “classic zone.”
Two faces: One white, the other red, both emblems of high-quality wines that are born through a visceral passion for the land, through respect for time, through a family tradition that has championed local grape varieties for more than 60 years.

1960 – San Benedetto di Lugana. It’s here that the heart of Sergio Zenato started to beat. His story is made of passion and hard work; a deep connection to his land and his people; entrepreneurial ability and openness to innovation and new vinification techniques and investment in native grape varieties.

A story that stretches from the banks of Lake Garda to the hills of nearby Valpolicella where the estate’s reds are born from sunny vineyards of Corvina and Rondinella in Costalunga in Sant’Ambrogio commune.

The heart of Valpolicella…….

Zenato’s Amarone Classico DOCG 2018 got 92 points from the Wine Spectator.

Tastingnote:

“A harmonious version, round and medium-to full-bodied, with fine tannins enmeshed with a fragrant mix of steeped cherry and strawberry, tea rose and tea leaf, mineral and spice flavors. Juicy finish. Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta and Croatina. Drink now through 2028.”

Wine Spectator Awards for Lugana and Amarone from Zenato:

AMARONE:

The Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG is the jewel of Zenato’s wine production, made from a selection of Top Grapes from Valpolicella Classica grown in the township Sant’Ambrogio.

The grapes (Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta and Croatina) 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 aged then in the bottle before being released. The Amarone is a majestic wine, ethereal and intense with notes of distillate -cured cherries and notes of bay leaf. It is an ideal wine for long-term aging.
