โจ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the breeze-swept hills of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Zonin's Pinot Bianco represents a harmonious marriage of historic Venetian winemaking tradition and the unique terroir of northeastern Italy. The Zonin family, whose viticultural roots date back to 1821, crafts this elegant white wine to showcase the pure, expressive nature of the Pinot Bianco grape. In Friuli, where cool Alpine winds collide with warm Adriatic sea breezes, the grape develops a crisp acidity and a refined mineral core. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, this wine avoids oak contact to preserve its delicate aromas of white flowers, green apple, and ripe pear, offering a bright and graceful expression of one of Italy's premier white wine regions.
๐พ About the Producer
Established in 1821 in Gambellara within the province of Vicenza, Zonin stands as one of Italy's most influential and historically significant wine dynasties. Across seven generations, the Zonin family expanded from their ancestral volcanic soils in the foothills of the Lessini Mountains to acquire top-tier estates spanning Friuli Venezia Giulia, Tuscany, Piedmont, Lombardy, Puglia, and Sicily. Viticulture emphasizes sustainability and regional authenticity across more than 1,500 hectares of family-managed vineyards. The estateโs winemaking philosophy fuses modern temperature-controlled stainless steel vinification and precision Charmat method effervescence with time-honored barrel aging for structured reds. Celebrated internationally for pioneering the global prominence of Prosecco DOCโtypified by its fresh, aromatic Cuvรฉe 1821โZonin also crafts classical expressions of Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie, native Veneto whites like Gambellara Classico, and the approachable Ventiterre line, delivering pure varietal typicity rooted in Italian terroir.
