Sansonina is a strictly limited and very ambitious project of the Zenato family, using only the best grapes from their own vineyards. Only a small amount of it reaches the specialist trade each year in numbered bottles.

A textbook-like bouquet of a slightly mature Merlot with dark fruit depth and beautiful notes of graphite and flint. Warm and soft on the palate, yet punchy, very precise and dry, at the same time showing lots of dark cherries and a fine sweet spiciness. You can literally feel the Lake Garda climate in its fresh and extremely harmonious character and you can be very excited about further years of bottle ageing! SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Merlot Veronese smells of herbs, crushed cherries and blueberries. It feels soft, almost creamy, with juicy acidity that balances and bright red and blue fruits that cascade. It finishes with a pleasant inner sweetness, leaving grippy tannins that retain a lovely freshness. This incredibly beautiful Merlot will capture many hearts." Vinous

"Aromas of bright and ripe black cherries vie with lightly charred roasting herbs, mild chili and dark floral notes. Full-bodied and silky with very fine tannins that are well sunk into the wine, allowing the fruit to build through the palate. Long, long finish with a gentle expansion of tannin and fruit. Classy. So tempting now, but will gain in complexity over a few years." James Suckling
