Zenato Pinot Grigio delle Venezie

Wine information: Cantine Zenato is owned by the Zenato family and has a long tradition of wine-making in the Lombardy and Veneto regions of Italy. Zenato Wines was established in 1960 by Sergio Zenato and his wife, Carla. The Zenato wine cellars are located at San Benedetto di Lugana, in the heart of the Lugana region, on Lake Garda. The Zenato winery now consists of 75 hectares in total, 40 hectares in San Benedetto and 35 hectares in the Valpolicella Classico region at Sant’Ambrogio. Zenato Amarone is now a benchmark for quality Amarone and Zenato Bardolino and Zenato Ripassa are superb examples of Veneto red wines but they also produce very clean white wines like their Pinot Grigio and Lugana. Today the winery is in the capable hands of Sergio’s children, Alberto and Nadia, who have clearly inherited their father’s talents and wine-making passion. 100% Pinot Grigio, hand harvested from south-southeast facing hillside vineyards at the beginning of September. The grapes are fermented and aged in temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks.

Tasting Notes: Zenato Pinot Grigio has a straw yellow colour with greenish highlights and a delicate bouquet. Soft, delicate wine with good definition in its aromatics and fruit.
