Zenato makes sound, forward-style Amarone, so this 2016, a ripe but fresh and energetic vintage, is quite accessible. Alberto Zenato is the current president of the Famiglie Storiche, a group of 13 family-owned estates, many of which scored well in this tasting. They all follow a similar formula, including a minimum post-harvest drying of 100 days. This boasts a vibrant, upright aroma with basil and lime, and plenty of vitality. The smooth grip and freshness of the tannins balances the rich fruit before a bitter touch of chicory and sappiness on the finish. Inviting and juicy.
