WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
Brilliant ruby in color, Alanera delights the senses with a variety of aromas and flavors that include fresh and dried cherries and prunes, sweet spice, and hints of coffee and tobacco. On the palate, Alanera is full-bodied with elegant and velvety tannins. Vibrant acidity brings balance and freshness, and supports a long and harmonious finish.
Pair Zenato’s Alanera with medium-aged cheeses, cured meats, meaty fish such as sea bass fillet with extra virgin olive oil, or with braised meats and stews.
Blend: 70% Corvina, 10% Rondinella, 10% Corvinone, 10% Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon
TASTING NOTES:
The wine has an intense nose of black, blue and red fruits with dried leaves, roasted coffee and baking spices all dancing together on the nose. The palate is lush with a deeper core of black plum, dark chocolate and savory herbs, finishing with fine tannins and a pop of acidity.
