✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the historic Zonin family, whose winemaking legacy in the Veneto region dates back to 1821, the Winemaker's Collection Pinot Grigio represents the classic, refreshing style of northeastern Italy. Sourced from the Delle Venezie DOC—a territory shaped by the cool breezes of the Alps and the moderating influence of the Adriatic Sea—this wine is a pure expression of the Pinot Grigio grape. To preserve its delicate aromatic profile and vibrant acidity, the grapes undergo a gentle pressing and are fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, avoiding any oak contact. The result is a bright, straw-yellow wine brimming with aromas of fresh pear, green apple, and wild white flowers, underpinned by a clean, mineral finish that reflects the region's gravelly alluvial soils.
🍾 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.
