Region: Veneto
Country: Italy
Grapes: Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Oseleta
Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
Alanera is Zenato's approachable Ripasso-style red from the Valpolicella heartland, built on a blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and the rare Oseleta grape. It shows the classic Veronese character of dried cherry and plum, with earthy leather and herb notes lifted by the region's naturally bright acidity. Rounder and more fruit-forward than a Ripasso but with enough structure to complement a good pasta or grilled meat.
Serving: Serve at 15–17 °C.

Rondinella
Rondinella is a red grape from the Veneto region of northeast Italy, valued less as a soloist than as a dependable supporting player in the blends of Valpolicella and its powerful cousin Amarone.
