In the glass, it displays a bright ruby red colour and releases clear aromas of \u003cstrong\u003echerries, morello cherries\u003c\/strong\u003e and wild berries. On the palate, it offers a \u003cstrong\u003emineral and dry\u003c\/strong\u003e sip, characterised by a velvety touch and a solid structure, for a harmonious and persistent tasting experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella, in a hilly area where the vineyards are situated between 250 and 300 metres above sea level. The south-east and south-west exposure favours optimal ripening of the grapes. The vines grow on \u003cstrong\u003echalky and calcareous soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, rich in stones and clay, which are essential for imparting the typical \u003cstrong\u003emineral character\u003c\/strong\u003e. This environment ensures excellent aromatic concentration, delivering a balanced and very clean sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification begins with the \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvesting\u003c\/strong\u003e of the grapes, followed by destemming and crushing. The must remains in contact with the skins for about ten days in steel tanks, allowing for controlled extraction of colour and aromas. After gentle pressing, the wine matures in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for around twelve months. This ageing period gives complexity to the structure, consolidating the characteristic \u003cstrong\u003evelvety touch\u003c\/strong\u003e and preserving the vibrancy of the fruity notes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in the heart of the hills of Sant’Ambrogio, the \u003cstrong\u003eZenato Valpolicella Classico Superiore\u003c\/strong\u003e reflects the dedication of a family that, for over sixty years, has enhanced the value of Veronese grape varieties.
