TASTING NOTES

Production

The Zenato family’s journey into the world of wine began in 1960 when Sergio followed his intuition to take a chance and believe in the vineyards of the Santa Cristina estate in the renowned Lugana wine-growing region, straddling Sirmione and Peschiera along the southern shore of Lake Garda. Following the immediate success of their Turbiana-based whites, the Zenato family began planting and producing red wines in the nearby Valpolicella region using Corvina, Rondinella and Oseleta, achieving great success here too. Today, this success is reflected in 95 hectares of vineyards across Lugana, Valpolicella and an estate in Bolgheri, Tuscany. Ripasso Superiore Ripassa is a dry red wine resulting from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Oseleta from the estates in Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella. This wine is produced through the second fermentation of Valpolicella Classico wine on the dried-out pomace of Amarone to achieve greater colour, body and aromas. The wine is then aged in French oak tonneaux for 18–20 months and in the bottle for a further 6 months. E(100 ml) 341 kJ / 81 kcal

Organoleptic Characteristics

With an intense ruby red colour, Ripassa di Zenato is a wine that captivates with its deep aromas of ripe wild berries, sweet spice and cocoa. On the palate, it is extremely velvety, smooth and generous. The tannins are refined and a balsamic note accompanies the finish.

Occasion and Pairing

A Veneto red to enjoy every day with red meat and game dishes. Cheeses, cured meats and traditional Venetian dishes.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 18–20°C.

Allergens: Solfiti

THE WINERY

Zenato

The Venetian shore of Lake Garda, a splendid area with a mild, almost Mediterranean climate due to the proximity of the lake: this is where the well-known morainic soil of Lugana and Valpolicella is found. And this is where the Zenato winery stands. With an extension of 75 hectares of vines, the company is developed around the estates of Santa Cristina, in a small municipality near Peschiera del Garda, and Costalunga. The cultivations are respectively linked to Trebbiano di Lugana and Valpolicella, from which precious Veneto wines and renowned wines are obtained. From the carefully cultivated grapes, the winery produces white wines of immense quality, such as Lugana DOC San Benedetto and Lugana DOC Metodo Classico, and unrivalled reds, such as Amarone and Bardolino DOC. Name and address of producer/distributor: Zenato - Strada San Benedetto, 8, 37019 Peschiera del Garda (VR). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
