About Zeni Valpolicella Marogne Ripasso 2020
Zeni Winery is a family-run winery that started its activity far back in the 1870s. The whole Zeni family has been fully and enthusiastically dedicated to the production of premium quality wines for 5 generations, and this is further testified by the grated care devoted to every single stage of the long wine production process from the growing of the vine to the harvest, to vinification, finishing and bottling of the wines.
Hand selection of the best grape bunches coming from hilly vineyards. The 60% Corvina 20% Corvinone 20% Rondinella grapes are picked at the beginning of the harvest and collected in small crates and left to raisin before being vinified with the rest of the grapes picked by the end of the harvest. Traditional skin fermentation followed by 10-15 days maceration. After fermentation the unpressed Amarone skins are added to Valpolicella wine, according to the traditional Valpolicella "ripasso" technique. It then ages in oak barrels for 12 months, followed by a short stay in stainless steel vats. Recommended pairing with grilled red meat, pasta with sauce, fermented cheese, roast meat.
It received a 92 Point Rating from Luca Maroni and a 91 Point Score from James Suckling who called it
