Reviews

James Suckling 93

This offers aromas of dried strawberries, dates, chocolate nibs and cooling spices. Full-bodied, deep and intense, with a core of ripe, succulent fruit and creamy tannins. It's rich but focused and lingering. Structured and seamless. Drink or hold.

Tasting notes

This rich release from Zeni hits all the marks we are looking for in a handmade, expressive example of Amarone. Deep ruby red with a garnet red tinge. Stylish and elegant with notes of preserved fruits and hints of cocoa and spices. Harmonic, complex and velvety. 60% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, 10% Molinara

Vinification

Hand selection of the best grape bunches coming from hilly vineyards. The grape is collected in small crates and left to raisin in order to achieve a high concentration of sugar, extracts, aromas and glycerine. Raisining of the grapes for 4-5 months followed by traditional skin fermentation and 3-4 weeks maceration. The wine is aged in 25 hl. old oak casks for 2-4 years
