There is a bit of caramel, licorice and cherry with some rose petal scent on this nose. A wide spectrum of scents and feelings to associate it with. The palate is really easy going with a good acid drive, rather straight forward, some matter, some grip on the sides, a spherical mid palate and tannins which tend to expand it and make it wider before a finish with red fruit notes and a fresh after taste that last for a while. Second attempt with this wine in this vintage and it clearly leads me to dig dipper into bardolinos. — 5 days ago

Always a great value and an easy go to. — 7 days ago

Opening sweet, but finishing rather dry. Lots of cherries and plum, leather, chocolate and mokka. Still tanine drying off — 18 days ago

This pairs well with cheese and probably spicy food, but I just can’t get excited about late harvest wines. I won’t hold it against the producer, who has really impressed me of late. — 7 days ago

Herbs, melon, citrus, and sea salt. Med-full bodied with very nice acidity. This is lights out for the price. — 6 days ago

Despite how much I like Amarone, this one wasn’t exactly good. One could taste ripped grapes, but it was bitter. I guess this one was a little too old (2011). I had newer ones from this winery that tasted much better. — 2 days ago

This does show its wood elevage, but when drunk side by side with the Calvarino, it’s a fun and interesting contrast as opposed to being overly intrusive. This has plenty of material - it almost comes off Burgundian, but a bit less chalky — 10 days ago

@Dave Kahler nails this one. Blind, I would have said definitely French. There’s something bready on the nose that you don’t smell in many Italian wines. — 5 days ago

Complex, long and surprisingly elegant. I’m thinking Zenato gets a bad rap in Italy because it’s a big operation. (And they seem make a lot of mediocre Lugana and Pinot Grigio. Although the PG is not terrible as far as PG from Veneto goes.) — 11 days ago

The single vineyard Calvarino is a bargain, well worth every penny. Candied lemon, stone fruit, very floral with blossom and elderflower and a stony background. Fresh acidity with good fruit intensity, strong mid palate and a salty finish. — 6 days ago
