Led by the Zonin family, this prominent winery is one Italy's most internationally recognized producers, bolstered by an extensive estate and valuable collaborations with many of the region's producers. The journey began in the first half of the 1800s, but it was a century later that commercial wine production began. Today, two centuries after those first steps were taken, Domenico Zonin leads a vast enterprise that represents Italian wine on the global stage. The family's interest in Valpolicella and its wines is not a recent discovery, and the Amarone '20 confirms the good work being done. It's a red of great stature, exhibiting aromas of sweet and ripe cherry enriched by subtle balsamic and spicy notes. In the mouth, its power is not an end in itself but serves to develop a rich, juicy, and highly charming palate. The Ripasso of the same harvest moves on a similar track, but with greater lightness, making for a crisp, supple, and pleasant drink.
