Stars from the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella, for Amarone della Valpolicella
An excellent year. A cold, wet spring, then a hot summer and a harvest right on time.
A cold, wet spring and a hot summer, with a harvest close to the average date.
After a warm, dry March, April and May were the coldest and wettest in 30 years. The summer was very hot, with heat waves at the end of June, peaking at 38°C, and at the end of July, plus some local hail. The spring rain carried the vines through a dry June. Veraison came late, ending in the last week of August; then good swings between day and night brought sound ripening and picking from mid September, a week later than in 2018. A quiet year for vine disease.
Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico Riserva “Sergio Zenato” by Zenato Winery
The Amarone Classico Riserva “Sergio Zenato” is the spearhead of the Zenato winery, one of the most well-founded and appreciated Italian wineries, an international institution, a pride of the Veneto Region. The importance of this bottle, within the winery’s award-winning range, is affirmed by the name of “Sergio Zenato”, founder and progenitor, who recently passed away.
The “Sergio Zenato” Amarone Riserva is born only in the best vintages from a selection of Corvina, Rondinella and Oseleta, hand-picked in small boxes in the oldest vineyards of Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella, in the heart of the appellation. After harvesting, the grapes are left to dry in the drying rooms for three / four months and, only in January, they are pressed and left to ferment on the skins for 15/20 days. The aging of the wine takes place in oak barrels for at least 4 years, then in the bottle for at least 1 year.
Thanks to the long aging time, the excellence of the vineyards and the work of the Zenato cellar, the Amarone Classico Riserva “Sergio Zenato” is a splendid Amarone, with a rich, intense and robust profile, with great personality. The nose releases aromas of black cherries in alcohol, ripe berries, spices and menthol notes. The taste is full, intense, with an exuberant alcoholic strength and a dense tannic texture, with a long, enchanting, slightly almond finish. An Amarone Riserva that carries within it all the personality of the great Venetian wine, with the soul of the Zenato winery.

Zenato stands on 95 hectares split between two renowned areas: white-wine Lugana on the southern shore of Lake Garda and red-wine Valpolicella Classica in the Costalunga hills of Sant’Ambrogio. Sergio Zenato set the course in 1960, pairing modern techniques with a devotion to local grapes, Trebbiano di Lugana for fresh, mineral whites and Corvina, Rondinella, plus a touch of Oseleta for structured Valpolicella and Amarone.
The Santa Cristina estate in San Benedetto di Lugana yields expressive whites shaped by the lake’s mild climate and clay-rich soils. Forty kilometres east, Costalunga’s dry-stone terraces and well-drained marl give the family’s reds depth and length. Precise vineyard mapping, row orientation for optimum sunlight, and careful water management underscore a hands-on approach first outlined by Sergio and continued by his wife Carla and their children Alberto and Nadia.
Beyond Veneto, Zenato cultivates 3.8 hectares along the Via Bolgherese in Tuscany. Here Podere Prospero offers a personal take on Bolgheri DOC, blending Cabernet and Merlot grown on sandy, sea-breeze-cooled soils.
Across all sites, low-impact farming, selective harvesting, and measured cellar work aim to translate each plot’s character into the glass, an approach shaped by more than six decades of family vision and continuity.
