"This is instantly appealing on the nose showing nectarine, fig, crunchy apple and floral aromas, leading to a gorgeously refreshing palate that's juicy and lingering. Beautifully composed and expressed" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2021
Bright pale straw-yellow; a fine, clear mousse with a very delicate perlage. Attractively intense; very fruity and aromatic, with hints of wisteria flowers and Rennet apples. Very well-balanced and appealing, with the extremely delicate almond note that is typical of Glera grapes.
The must is obtained by very soft pressing of solely Glera grapes, then 50% undergoes an initial fermentation at a controlled temperature of 18° C. (64° F.) while the remaining 50% is stored at 0° C. (32° F.) as unfermented must. Lately they are assembled and transferred into pressurized stainless steel tanks where the wine is made sparkling using the traditional Charmat method.
Zonin Amomg the 'World's top 50 most admired wine brands 2020' in Drinks International Magazine.
Zonin1821 is one of the most important family-owned wineries in Italy and in the world. An historic family of winegrowers now in its seventh generation, Zonin is renowned for the quality of its wines and its entrepreneurial dynamism. Its mission, starting with Italy, is to optimize its wines and its winegrowing regions with far- sightedness and familial continuity.
Inspired by the principle ‘to each region its traditions, to each region its wine’, since the end of the 1960s the family has selected only supremely well-suited terroirs, bringing the sum total of currently cultivated vineyards to approximately 2000 hectares. Its team is made up of 32 winemakers and agronomists operating across 12 estates located in the 7 most outstanding Italian winegrowing regions, in addition to the American estate of Barboursville Vineyards in Virginia (USA) and the Chilean estate of Dos Almas.
Their expertise in each winegrowing area, promotion of the ‘Italian lifestyle’ worldwide, quest for excellence through continuous improvement and the foresight and solidity of their entrepreneurial strategy are the most important values underpinning the company.
Food Pairing: An excellent aperitif, it can also be served throughout the meal - including dessert - as long as the dishes are not too strongly flavored.
