TASTING NOTES

Plum sauce and crushed raspberries complemented by mentholated herbs, liquorice and balsamic spice. There are depths of fresh red and black fruits that gain a polished feel as they coast across velvety textures, while vibrant acidity adds verve, further contrasted by a bitter twang of baker’s chocolate. Terrific richness and tannin power, full-bodied and very structured with a powerful finish.

Pairings

Perfect with roast meats, game, grilled steak and mature cheeses, but also perfect as a meditation wine for enjoyment without a meal.

THE MAKER: Zenato

95 hectares in the most suitable areas of Lugana and in the classic area of Valpolicella. Two faces, one white, the other red, both emblems of quality wines that arise from the visceral passion for the territory, from respect for time, from a family tradition that for 60 years has enhanced local varieties.
