You don’t need to venture as far as Amarone to understand why Valpolicella has earned an almost mythical reputation among lovers of Italian wine. Zenato Valpolicella Superiore 2020 is a delightful expression of the region that you can enjoy every day, combining finesse, fruit and character in every sip. The 2020 vintage was also awarded 91 points by James Suckling.
The Zenato family has been working on the shores of Lake Garda since 1960 and is now regarded as one of the leading forces in Valpolicella. What set Zenato apart was not only the quality of its wines, but also its ability to capture the character of the region in every bottle. From simple Valpolicella to great Amarone wines, the philosophy remains the same: respect for tradition, consistency and a pure expression of place and grape varieties.
Zenato Valpolicella Superiore 2020 is produced primarily from Corvina Veronese, with the addition of Rondinella and Corvinone, the grape varieties that form the foundation of the region’s great wines. Unlike Ripassa or Amarone, the aim here is not power or concentration, but freshness. The result is a wine with vibrant fruit, a velvety texture and impressive aromatic character.
The accolades, after all, speak for themselves.
