Description
Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG 2017 Magnum Zenato
Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG 2017 Magnum Zenato is a great red from the Venetian tradition, an authoritative expression of the classic Valpolicella area. Signed by Zenato, it arises from a successful balance of richness, depth, and finesse, with the Magnum format further enhancing its presence at the table and its evolution over time. A wine designed for those seeking an intense, structured Amarone capable of accompanying important moments or a meditative tasting.
Territory and wine style
This Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG comes from the Costalunga estate, in S. Ambrogio, in the heart of the classic Valpolicella area. Here, the tradition of drying grapes meets a well-recognizable territorial identity, made of carefully selected grapes and a style that focuses on concentration, complexity, and harmony. The blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Oseleta builds a typical yet personal profile, with a deep aromatic component and significant structure, supported by aging in oak barrels for at least 36 months.
Tasting notes
In the glass, it presents a very intense, dense, and deep red color, consistent with the type. On the nose, it offers mature and enveloping sensations, with hints of fruit in alcohol, dried fruit, spices, and more evolved notes, while the palate is broad, warm, and full, sustained by a significant texture and good persistence. The drying of the grapes and the long maturation give the wine a rich, elegant, and decidedly structured personality, with a balance that favors depth and softness without sacrificing the liveliness typical of Valpolicella.
Recommended pairings
It is an ideal wine with roasts, game, braised dishes, red meats, and aged cheeses, thanks to its gustatory strength and ability to support flavorful and complex preparations. Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG 2017 Magnum Zenato is also perfect on its own, as a meditation wine, or to conclude an important dinner with a glass of great personality. The Magnum format makes it particularly suitable for convivial occasions and moments of celebration.
Serving temperature
The ideal serving temperature for Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG 2017 Magnum Zenato is between 18 and 20°C. When using a Magnum bottle, it can be helpful to uncork it a little in advance to enhance the aromatic expression and allow for a better opening of the bouquet. A service that is too cold is not necessary: it is preferable to highlight the complexity of the wine and its natural breadth on the palate.
