Winery

1960, the passion of Sergio Zenato was born in San Benedetto di Lugana. A story made of passion and work; of full identity with its territory and its people; of entrepreneurial skills and openness to innovation with new wine making techniques and the investment on autochthonous vines. A story that from the shores of Lake Garda has reached the hills of the nearby Valpolicella, where from the sunny vineyards of Corvina and Rondinella in Costalunga, in the commune of Sant'Ambrogio, are born the red wines of the winery.

Description

The wine obtained with the ripasso technique is strictly connected to the greatest wine of Valpolicella:
Amarone. After the pressing of dried grapes, from which Amarone is produced, the wine is "repassed".
Valpolicella produced in the October harvest on the still warm pomace of Amarone. It begins a
second alcoholic fermentation which increases the alcohol content and the wine becomes richer in color, in
body, aromas.

Organoleptic characteristics: 

Color: deep ruby red. Bouquet: intense, fine and persistent, with hints of black cherry and plum. Taste: harmonious and velvety, with good structure.

Storage time: 

4-5 years

Vinification 

Grapes are destemmed and macerated in stainless steel fermenter for 10-12 days. Once the fermentation, the new wine is separated from the skins by means of a soft press and stored in stainless steel tanks until January, when the dried grapes are pressed to produce Amarone. At this point the Valpolicella is "repassed" on the marcs of the Amarone with a permanence of 7-8 days at a temperature of 25-28°C (77-86°F).
