Description
Alberto Rosso Veneto IGT 2017 Magnum by Zenato
Alberto Rosso Veneto IGT 2017 Magnum is an important and refined red wine crafted by Zenato, designed to celebrate the identity of a vocated territory and the winemaking sensitivity of the family. Born as a special selection of grapes, it combines Corvina Veronese and Merlot in a blend that interprets Veneto with modern style, balance, and elegance. The magnum format and the single wooden box emphasize its collectible and special occasion character.
Territory and wine style
This Rosso Veneto IGT arises from the meeting of two territorial souls: the Tenuta Costalunga in Valpolicella Classica, from which the Corvina Veronese comes, and the morainic hills of Garda, an area linked to the history and roots of the winery, where Merlot grows. The result is a wine that expresses the richness of the Veneto territory with a contemporary touch, maintaining a broad and authoritative personality. The slight drying of the grapes and the two-year aging in barrel contribute to defining a more enveloping, structured, and harmonious style.
Tasting notes
In the glass, it presents an intense and mature profile, consistent with its nature as a structured red. On the nose, sensations of red and black fruit emerge, with deeper nuances and an elegant aromatic weave. On the palate, Alberto Rosso Veneto IGT 2017 Magnum shows body, balance, and a pleasant softness, supported by a well-defined structure. The Corvina brings freshness and territorial recognition, while the Merlot contributes to making the sip rounder and more welcoming. The finish is harmonious, persistent, and suitable for slow tasting.
Recommended pairings
Thanks to its structure, Alberto Rosso Veneto IGT 2017 Magnum pairs well with flavorful dishes with a good fat component, such as braises, roasts, grilled meats, game, and preparations with rich sauces. Excellent also with aged cheeses and traditional Venetian cuisine, it pairs well with important menus and convivial dinners where the wine must support the dish without losing finesse.
Serving temperature
To best appreciate its profile, Alberto Rosso Veneto IGT 2017 Magnum should be served at an ideal temperature of 16-18 °C. If possible, it is helpful to open it a little in advance to encourage the evolution of aromas and greater expressiveness in the glass. The magnum format, moreover, enhances the wine's longevity over time and makes it particularly interesting for table service.
