The 2008 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Sergio Zenato is 80% Corvina, 10% Rondinella, 10% Oseleta and Croatina. The wine ages in traditional botte grande for four years. This is regularly my highest scoring wine from Zenato, but the 2008 vintage doesn't show the same level of purity and intensity that we saw in 2007. The wine wraps over the palate with textured tannins and ripe fruit flavors.
