Alpha Zeta wines are sourced from a unique cooperative model, comprised of small, family owned vineyards in the Veneto region of Italy. All vineyards are sustainably farmed, and select sites are certified organic. Matt has been the consulting winemaker for this coop for the past 17 years. His aim is to produce a range of modern, fruit driven wines, with a deference and respect for local traditions.

After harvest the grapes are left to dry in specially-ventilated rooms for 3 months before the wine is made. Drying the grapes in this way gives a concentrated richness and depth to the wine that is highly-sought after.

Drinking Amarone is one of the most pleasurable wine experiences you can have. This Amarone is deep and intense on the nose with aromas of dried cherries, plums, spiced autumn fruit compote and chocolate. On the palate, it is powerful, with a lovely balance of ripe, silky tannins and spiced, concentrated savoury cherry fruit character. A touch of woodsmoke completes the long finish. Corvina, Rondinella & Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
