Jarrett Walsh, Winebow The ZENATO Winery possesses a strong link to the richness of its local history
and culture, and continues to develop this connection today. The estate
is based in a territory that surrounds Lake Garda, with an extraordinary
microclimate that allows for an optimal growing season.
Cherishing a ’frank and simple’ approach to life, Zenato is committed to
producing affordable wine of exceptional quality, with a passion
for the land and a dedication to vigorous research, innovation, and quality
improvement, striving to eclipse past results. PINOT GRIGIO della Venezie DOC 2017………………….………………$11.99……..$10.19
100% Pinot Grigio, 20 days of fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
Delicately scented and soft on the palate, it offers classic citrus and floral notes
in a balanced elegant style. Lemon-green color, aromas of Key lime and white peaches
complement undertones of green apples and grains of paradise. On the palate,
it is smooth and refreshing with a long, pleasant finish. Ideal pairing with hors d’oeuvres,
vegetable soups, fresh garden salads, and grilled sole. BARDOLINO Chiaretto DOC 2018…………………………....…………….$12.99……..$10.99
65% Corvina, 25% Rondinella, 10% Molinara
Intense coral pink color with purplish highlights. On the nose, white flowers, fresh red fruit,
and notes of raspberry and currant. On the palate, delicate, balanced, and fresh. Excellent with
hors d’oeuvres, first courses, lake fish, and white meats. VALPOLICELLA Superiore 2016 DOC………………...……………………$15.99……..$13.59
85% Corvina Veronese, 10% Rondinella, 5% Corvinone with 10 days of traditional maceration
in stainless steel, then the wine is separated from the skins and aged in oak casks for 12 months.
A ruby red color, with a delicate nose reminiscent of maraschino cherries and fruits of the
wood. On the palate, mineral, dry, celvety, with good structure.
Pair with pasta with different sauces, red meats, roasted and grilled. ALANERA Rosso Veronese IGT 2015……………………..…………………$14.99……..$12.79
55% Corvina, 25% Rondinella, 10% Covinone, 5% Merlot; 5% Cabernet Sauvignon; 10-15 days
fermentation in stainless steel; 10-12 days of maceration; 12 months in French oak; 3 months
in bottle before release. Brilliant ruby color, Alanera delights the sense with a variety of
aromas and flavors that include fresh and dried cherries and prunes, sweet spice, and hints of
coffee and tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied with elegant and velvety tannins.
Vibrant acidity brings balance and freshness, and supports a long, harmonious finish.
Pair Alanera with medium-aged cheeses, cured meats, sea bass fillet, or braised meats, and stews. RIPASSA Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore 2014……………..…………...$28.99……..$24.69
85% Corvina, 10% Rondinela, 5% Oseleta
As soon as the dried grapes for the Amarone are fermented, selected batches of Valpolicella wine
are “re-passed” over the Amarone lees, thus starting a secondary fermentation that slightly increases
the alcohol content and gives the wine deeper color and more complex aromas. Aged for 18 months
in French oak, then 6 months of bottle aging before release. Deep ruby red color, showing intense
aromas of blackberries and black currants underscored by aromas of spice pepper and a hint of leather.
On the palate, it is smooth and viscous with well-balanced acidity and alcohol.
Pair with game dishes, grilled meats and roasts, salami, and aged cheeses. |
