TASTING NOTES

Production

The Zenato family’s journey into the world of wine began in 1960 when Sergio followed his intuition to take a chance and believe in the vineyards of the Santa Cristina estate in the renowned Lugana wine-growing region, straddling Sirmione and Peschiera along the southern shore of Lake Garda. Following the immediate success of their Turbiana-based whites, the Zenato family began planting and producing red wines in the nearby Valpolicella region using Corvina, Rondinella and Oseleta grapes, achieving great success here too. Today, this success is reflected in 95 hectares of vineyards between Lugana and Valpolicella, as well as an estate in Bolgheri, Tuscany. Lugana Santa Cristina is a dry white wine made from 100% Turbiana grapes from the Santa Cristina estate in San Benedetto di Lugana. After harvesting, the bunches are selected in the cellar before pressing. The must ferments in temperature-controlled steel tanks and is left to age on the fine lees for 3 months.

On the palate, it is fresh, with good acidity and savouriness that leaves the mouth dry and ready for the next bite.

THE WINERY

Zenato

After the end of the First World War, Cesare Zucchetto, a pharmacist from Valdobbiadene, Veneto, decided he wanted to help rebuild the exhausted region. Combining his passion for wine and viticulture with his knowledge of chemistry, he started his cultivation from a vineyard in the surrounding hills, in Cartizze Alto. The first product was a Prosecco of unbelievable quality, initially appreciated by families in the Veneto region and soon also outside the region. The actual expansion came with his son Paolo, who started cultivating new vineyards in the Valdobbiadene area and producing excellent sparkling wines using the Metodo Martinotti. Gradually, the winery's products began to be recognised and known internationally, also thanks to the spread of knowledge and general appreciation of Prosecco. Today, the vineyards are in the hands of Paolo, while his son Carlo Alberto is in charge of the winemaking, and he applies all his obsession for perfection in the production of wines of the best possible quality. Name and address of producer/distributor: Zucchetto Paolo - Via Cima, 16 – 31049, San Pietro di Barbozza di Valdobbiadene (TV). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
