The Colombara Soave Classico from the renowned Zenato estate is a beautiful testament to the volcanic terroirs of Veneto. Sourced from the historic Colombara vineyard in the heart of the Soave Classico zone, this white wine is crafted primarily from the indigenous Garganega grape, occasionally complemented by Trebbiano di Soave. The Zenato family, who founded their winery in 1960, selected this site for its ideal microclimate and mineral-rich, basaltic soils. The grapes are gently pressed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the vibrant, fresh fruit character and distinct floral aromas. Historically, the Soave region has been celebrated since Roman times, with its name reputedly praised by the poet Dante Alighieri. Zenato's expression pays homage to this heritage, delivering a wine defined by notes of white peach, elderflower, and a signature bitter almond finish.

Founded in 1960 by Sergio Zenato and his wife Carla, the Zenato winery is situated on the morainic hills of Lake Garda in San Benedetto di Lugana, Veneto, Italy. Today, the estate is managed by their children, Alberto and Francesca, who continue to champion the unique terroirs of both Lugana and Valpolicella. Renowned for pioneering the quality resurgence of the indigenous Turbiana grape, Zenato produces exceptional white wines, including the iconic Lugana Riserva Sergio Zenato. In Valpolicella, the family crafts powerful, elegant red wines from their Costalunga estate, most notably their acclaimed Amarone della Valpolicella Classico and the single-varietal Corvina, Cresasso.
