Zenato Cresasso Corvina Veronese 2010
Verona, Veneto, ItalyPretty, floral violet, black cherry, wild blueberry fragrance float above a compact base of cassis, black plum and cherry jam. Tannins are ample, but fine, with moderate stickiness, and acidity is moderate and persistent. Relatively fresh and textured, considering its 15.5 percent alcohol. Cresasso is a single-vineyard corvina veronese blend grown at 300 metres on hillsides of chalk, stones and clay. The harvest is done in two phases: the first pick, in the second half of September, the grapes are picked ripe, and left to dry for two months before stainless fermentation for 20 days and then large oak casks for 24 months. The second half is picked overripe at the end of October, and fermented for almost a month in stainless steel on the skins before 18 months in French oak barrels.Tasted: 21 November 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $50.00 | 750ml | BCLS |
