✨ Technical Specifications
Zonin's Ventiterre Red represents a harmonious expression of the Veneto region's contemporary winemaking heritage, crafted by the historic Zonin family whose roots in Gambellara date back to 1821. The name Ventiterre, evoking the winds of the lands, pays homage to the gentle breezes that sweep across the Venetian hills, balancing alpine freshness with Adriatic warmth. Typically crafted from a blend of Merlot and local Veneto varieties, this wine is vinified in stainless steel to preserve its bright, fruit-forward character. It showcases a lively ruby hue with inviting aromas of red cherries, wild berries, and a touch of soft spice, embodying the Zonin family's philosophy of creating approachable wines that capture the joyous spirit of Italian hospitality.
🍾 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.
