Zenato Valpolicella

Zenato Valpolicella Superiore is the kind of red that quietly earns a permanent spot at the table. Coming from the hills near Lake Garda, this Veneto classic gets a little extra love and time, thanks to its Superiore status, spending a full year in oak before release.

Built around Corvina with supporting roles from Rondinella and Corvinone, this wine strikes a beautiful balance between fruit, structure, and easy charm. The oak aging adds depth and polish without weighing it down, making it richer and smoother than standard Valpolicella while staying wonderfully drinkable.

This is your “what should we open with dinner?” wine. The answer is yes.

Tasting Notes
Aromas of wild berries, black cherry, and black currant lead into hints of chocolate, dried herbs, and gentle spice. Medium-bodied and velvety on the palate, with fine tannins and a lingering, fruit-forward finish.

Pairings
A natural match for pasta with red sauce, lasagna, pizza, and cozy Italian favorites. Also great with grilled meats, roast chicken, salami, or even seared tuna and orange-glazed duck when you’re feeling adventurous.
