Zenato Alanera 2019

This wine has forward aromas of black plum and blueberry pie. Though not an Amarone, the winery partially dries 50% of the grapes for a few months creating a wine made from both fresh fruit and dried fruit. This creates a wine that is lush and rich on the palate, but vibrant and intense in equal proportions. It is silky smooth, with a long finish of spiced plums and dried herbs. [Drink till 2028+.] Score – 91. (Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 31, 2022)
