2017 Zenato Cresasso, Corvina Veronese IGT Italian Red Wine

Made from Corvina Veronese, this single-vineyard designate wine is deeply connected to the land where it is grown. Its intense, deep ruby red color tinges the glass as its thick, lingering legs slide down the edges. On the nose, it delivers a spectrum of delicious and enchanting red fruit, blueberry, and blackberry notes that evolve into intense aromas of black cherry, cooked prune, and jam.

Vinification: The manual harvest is done in two distinct phases, an initial selection is made in the second half of September, laying the grapes in crates and set to dry for two months after which the fermentation follows for 20 days and then the wine is left to age in French oak casks for 24 months. The corvina not collected during the harvest is left to over-ripen on the plant until the end of October, after which it is fermented in stainless steel tanks. The Cresasso is the blend of the two fermentations, with deep ruby colour, an important structure and alcohol content.

Nose: The nose recalls red fruits such as black cherry, cherry and spicy notes offrankincense and pepper aromas typical of the grape corvina
