Its multifaceted bouquet offers notes of cherry in spirit, dried fruit, liquorice, sandalwood and balsamic hints. On the palate, it reveals a \u003cstrong\u003emajestic structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the evident glyceric mass is balanced by a \u003cstrong\u003enoble tannic texture\u003c\/strong\u003e and a measured freshness.

The grapes come from the vineyards of the \u003cstrong\u003eCostalunga estate\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose well-exposed rows favour a concentrated sip rich in extract. The use of \u003cstrong\u003eorganic and sustainable farming\u003c\/strong\u003e practices preserves the natural characteristics of the Veronese soils. This meticulous care for the terroir gives a \u003cstrong\u003ecomplex aromatic profile\u003c\/strong\u003e and a deep ruby colour, a true reflection of the soul of this land.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with the \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvesting\u003c\/strong\u003e of the best bunches between the end of September and the beginning of October. The fruit then undergoes a \u003cstrong\u003edrying period\u003c\/strong\u003e of three or four months, necessary to concentrate sugars and aromas. This is followed by pressing and a slow maceration on the skins for fifteen to twenty days at controlled temperatures. The final ageing takes place in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for a minimum of thirty-six months, a key stage in defining the velvety character and exceptional longevity of the wine signed by \u003cstrong\u003eZenato\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from the passion of the Zenato family, who since 1960 have been enhancing the excellence of Veneto grape varieties, this majestic \u003cstrong\u003eAmarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e is a true icon of the region. The prized grapes from the Costalunga vineyards are hand-picked and subjected to a meticulous \u003cstrong\u003edrying process of 3-4 months\u003c\/strong\u003e to concentrate their aromas. Maturation for at least 36 months in oak barrels gives the wine its typical velvety and enveloping structure.
