Zenato Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva Sergio Zenato 2018

Zenato's Amarone Riserva Sergio Zenato is produced only in excellent vintages.

95 Points James Suckling Dense garnet, with a nose of walnut husks, toasted black pepper, sour cherries and ash. Smooth and soft on the palate, with a full body and ripe, silky tannins balanced by zesty acidity. Lovely fruit with an extremely long, nutty aftertaste.

93 Points Wine Spectator Flavors of baked black cherry, macerated strawberry, singed orange peel and medicinal herbs are focused and expressive in this rich red, reined in nicely by sculpted, fine-grained tannins and fresh plum skin acidity. Long and fragrant, with notes of dried flowers, spices, cocoa powder and more dried herbs playing on the finish. Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta and Croatina.
