Zeni Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2020

"Dense and elegant with ripe, lush cherry fruit and a hint of chocolate and minerality. Great finesse, a vibrant acidity and a persistent finish." —winemaker

"Dark red hue in appearance. Concentrated, fragrant nose with top notes of cherry jam and cranberries, followed by hints of plum, dried fruit and cocoa. On the palate it is full, round, with velvety tannins, pleasantly tangy with a long finish, with notes of red berries and an alluring full flavor." —winemaker

"Dark, garnet-edged ruby; scents of wild cherry, dried rose petals, and cocoa powder; well balanced, with supple tannins. Two years of aging in French barrique have helped to craft a layered, complex Amarone with syrupy richness in the mouth, sweet smoke overtones and aromas of bacon, cola, leather and dried fruit." —winemaker

Wine Anthology Team Review- Only the ripest grapes that are picked in late October get chosen for this wine. Then the drying process begins (the Appassimento method) until the following January. The wine then gets put into Slovenion oak barrels and finishes the aging process. The result is a rich and lush wine that displays deep fruit flavors, hints of smoke and a deliciously, elongated finish. You can't do better for under $40. Cheers!
