✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the historic Zonin family, whose winemaking legacy in the Veneto region dates back to 1821, this Prosecco Rosé represents a modern milestone in Italian sparkling wine history. Following the landmark 2020 appellation decree that officially permitted the creation of Prosecco DOC Rosé, this cuvée elegantly marries the region's signature white Glera grape with a small percentage of Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) vinified as a red wine. Produced using the classic Martinotti-Charmat method, the secondary fermentation takes place in pressurized stainless steel tanks to preserve the delicate, fresh aromas of wild strawberries, cherry blossoms, and red berries. The grapes are harvested from selected vineyards across the Prosecco DOC zone, where the temperate climate, cooled by Alpine breezes and warmed by the Adriatic Sea, fosters a vibrant acidity and a fine, persistent effervescence.
🍾 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 estate’s 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 DOC—typified by its fresh, aromatic Cuvée 1821—Zonin 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.
