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.

Viticoltori Storici Amarone della Valpolicella is a premium red wine produced in the Valpolicella region of Italy. This wine is made using the traditional method of appassimento, where the grapes are left to dry for several months to concentrate the flavors and aromas. The blend typically consists of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, with small additions of other local varieties.

Very delicate destemming and crushing to preserve the integrity of the dried grapes followed by a long maceration in contact with skins at 23-24°C for 25 days. Ageing in barrels of 25 HL (70%) and in barriques (30%) for 3 years. Dry, very warm, full bodied and intense wine.
