Zenato Valpolicella Superiore DOC 2021 (750ml)

Zenato's 2021 Valpolicella Superiore comes from the rolling hills of northeastern Italy, where the blend of native varietals (chiefly Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara) has been crafted for centuries. The Superiore designation reflects the wine's slightly higher alcohol and extended aging compared to regular Valpolicella, resulting in a wine with more weight and complexity.

The nose opens with floral lift and wild berry notes touched by pepper. On the palate, the wine moves with a silky texture, its red fruit character accented by mineral streaks and a savory quality that keeps things interesting. Acid remains brisk and defining throughout, giving the finish a clean snap and modest length. This is a wine that tastes best when slightly cool and approaches food with clarity.
