Hailing from the historic hills of Veneto, where the Zonin family has pioneered viticulture since 1821, this red wine represents the approachable, vibrant spirit of northeastern Italy. Crafted primarily from a blend of traditional Venetian grapes like Corvina alongside international varieties like Merlot, the wine benefits from the region's diverse terroir, spanning volcanic soils and gravelly alluvial plains near the Adige River. Zonin employs modern temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve the bright red fruit character, resulting in a medium-bodied, harmonious red that reflects centuries of family winemaking heritage and the relaxed, convivial lifestyle of the Veneto.
