Acclaim
“Ripe, with almost a bit of honeyed citrus here, together with almond pie and a mineral punch. Very bright, round and flavorful, while remaining reserved and subtle. Mineral and taut finish with a fine twist of spice and cream.”
— James Suckling, Aug 2022
“Founded by Sergio Zenato in 1960, production is divided between Valpolicella and Lugana, where the family owns vines in some of the top sites of Peschiera. This is a single-vineyard selection, about two-thirds aged in mixed barrels. The excellent 2019 has late-harvest fruit with vanilla and milky almonds on the nose, a palate with a fleshy, low-yield concentration and a minerally, intense finish.”
— Decanter, Apr 2022
