Zenato is a historic and well respected name in Northern Italy’s Veneto region. Sergio Zenato started the winery in 1960 and today the family tradition in winemaking is carried on by his children Alberto and Nadia. The estate produces a range of white and red wines.
Tasting Notes
Dry white wine produced from grapes selected in the heart of the production area of Bianco di Custoza, Verona. It is a blend of 40% Garganega, 30% Chardonnay, 20% Tocai, 10% Cortese. Light and fresh style white wine that is well suited to aperitifs, appetizers and delicate fish dishes.
Method
The grapes are softly pressed and fermented in stainless steel.

Great value. This white wine comes from the same region (Bianco di Custoza) as a favourite red of mine; Corte Gardoni “Le Fontane” Bardolino. It also shares two grapes, Garganega and Cortese, with Gardoni’s own Bianco di Custoza which I also enjoy. Light on acidity and fruit, fresh, oh so slightly of dry. Seems to have a tiny hint of honey. I am drinking it with manchego (hard, slightly salty cheese) and a variety of olives. Beautiful!
