This is a huge and impressive wine, but somehow graceful and subtle. It packs an eclectic array of brambleberry compote, violet essence, eucalyptus, oyster shell, pure iodine, vanilla, resin, tar, cassis, plum liqueur and hot stones. You can only stand back in awe as one shade of fruit appears after the next and a barrage of tannin coats your mouth. Yet, this is gentle, agile and flowing. Nevertheless, its main attraction remains its unashamed, monumental power and muscularity. A haunting wine that sends chills down your spine. An epoch-defining wine for Veneto that harks back to the legends of the ‘50s and ‘60s. Perhaps the best Amarone ever made. Impossible to resist now, but better in 2022.

Zenato plays an "essential role" (WA) in shaping the guidelines used in the Amarone denomination. Founded by Sergio and Carla Zenato in 1960, the estate is now helmed by their children, Nadia and Alberto who jointly oversee 95 ha. of vines spreading around Lake Garda. Now standing toe-to-toe with greats such as Romano Dal Forno and Quintarelli in terms of quality, their wines are available at a fraction of the price. This has made Zenato a ‘go-to’ name for Amarone fans who are ‘in the know’.
