Producer: Azienda Vitivinicola Zenato, S. Benedetto di Lugana
Azienda Vitivinicola Zenato is based in S. Benedetto di Lugana and is closely connected with the wine regions around Lake Garda, Verona and Valpolicella. The Zenato family has worked with regional grape varieties for generations and places great importance on vinification that clearly expresses origin, grape variety and ageing. The Cresasso is made from Corvina Veronese and is linked to the Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella vineyard site in the Costalunga area. The vines grow in a hilly zone on calcareous, stony soils with a proportion of clay. The wine expresses this origin in a concentrated, mineral-driven style with dark fruit, structure, silky tannins and a long finish.
