Very cold winter, very normal springtime. Many rainfalls during the all first part of the summer, but the end of July to the end of October the weather was sunny and dry, so the end of maturation and the harvest were simply perfect. Very balanced vintage, a great vintage.
The colour is an inviting lively ruby. The nose, of cherries and nectarines, is fragrant and convincing. In the mouth the wine moves juicily towards the close, while remaining enjoyably refreshing.
The ruby colour captivates with its tone and intensity. The fruit is exuberant with a very pleasurable sour cherry taste, merged with hints of chocolate and sweet spices. The subtlety enhances the floral component of the purple rose. Balsamic notes emerge with increasing conviction, along with hints of star anise and wild gooseberry. The tertiary elements are subtle and leave the perception of pleasurable notes of arabica and mild tobacco.
It is a rounded, velvet-textured wine with rich, complex aromas of berries and an impressively lengthy finish that seems to linger forever. Ripassa represents one of the most important milestones in Zenato's winemaking evolution.
A vintage Blanc de Blancs of incontrovertible excellence, obtained just Chardonnay grapes the Lunelli family's own vineyards. After a long period of maturation in the bottle it becomes a synthesis of elegance, freshness and harmonious complexity.
The wine has a deep ruby red color, ripe and dense. The nose explodes into fruity scents of jam, ripe black fruit with ethereal nuances and vegetal scents, softened by toasted notes, minerals, spices, vanilla and butter. The taste also reveals a wine of great power, in tune with what is perceived by the sense of smell. The high alcohol content enhances the fullness of tannins and at the same time makes it very balanced and harmonious. The finish is decidedly long and pleasant.
