My Top 100 Italian Wines: Zenato – Amarone Classico della Valpolicella – The vineyard

James visits, along with Nadia Zenato owner of Zenato, the vineyards of Sant'Ambrogio di Valpolicella in Veneto. From this vineyard one can actually clearly see the city of Verona.

 This is where most of the Corvina grapes that go into Zenato’s Amarone Classico are grown. In this video Nadia explains how the characteristics of this vineyard such as steepness and ventilation, help make a great Amarone. Watch the video for the full story. Enjoy! 

The Zenato Amarone della Valpolicella Sergio Zenato Riserva 2006  was among the top wines in James' top 100 Italian wines in 2012.
