Zenato has 95 hectares of vineyards between their Zenato di Santa Cristina estate in San Benedetto di Lugana on the shores of Lake Garda and their Costalunga estate in Valpolicella, 30 kilometres away to the north east. The Corvina Veronese, Rondinella, Oseleta and Croatina grapes used to produce this Amarone are grown in a vineyard located in Sant’Ambrogio della Valpolicella, a hilly area with an exposure to south east and south west. The altitude here is 300-350 metres and the soil is mainly limestone/clay with rock fragments.
