Gaetano Zeni, referred to as Nino by everyone, was the real innovator of the modern era of the winery: a number of small and big changes initiated by him lifted the winery to its level of today. It was Nino who decided to move the production in the 1950s from the small winery in the historic centre of Bardolino to its present location,with more space and improved practicality, in the hills above the village with a spectacular view of Lake Garda. In the new winery he also decided to establish the wine museum to promote the culture and the story of wine growing and wine making.

Gaetano Zeni, referred to as Nino by everyone, was the real innovator of the modern era of the winery: a number of small and big changes initiated by him lifted the winery to its level of today. It was Nino who decided to move the production in the 1950s from the small winery in the historic centre of Bardolino to its present location,with more space and improved practicality, in the hills above the village with a spectacular view of Lake Garda. In the new winery he also decided to establish the wine museum to promote the culture and the story of wine growing and wine making.
The philosophy of the winery, which was implemented by Gaetano Zeni, is pursued today with the same enthusiasm and dedication by his children Fausto, Elena and Federica and includes in particular the meticulous selection of both vineyards and grapes.
The separate vinification of the grapes from the different wine areas is today still one of the fundamentals of the winery, giving the wines local character and high quality. The continuous improvement both in the production processes and in the winery’s management enabled the winery to obtain the UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 quality certification.
The colour of the wine is light straw yellow but with a subtle green hue. Intense bouquet of tropical fruit, namely melon and lychee with a hint of honey. Velvety and soft in taste with mild acidity, this allows the wine to carry its freshness right through to a delicate and persistent finish.
The vines are planted on the morainic hills to the south of Lake Garda. The soil is of morainic origin and is composed of red-brown soil on detrital sediments, which play a key role in providing lightness to the wine. The grapes are hand selected after reaching optimum ripeness. Maceration occurs on the skins, followed by gentle pressing of the grapes. Fermentation happens at controlled temperatures in stainless steel vats
