This wine presents a deep ruby red color, inviting and rich in appearance. On the nose, it offers hints of black cherry and well-ripened fruit, setting the stage for a luscious experience. The palate is rounded, full-bodied, and velvety, delivering a smooth, luxurious mouthfeel with each sip. It’s a wine that combines depth, richness, and a soft elegance, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy a bold yet refined red.

Zeni’s journey began with Bartolomeo Zeni in 1870. A painter at heart but importer by trade, he transported goods across the region – fish, olive oil and of course wine. Gaetano, his son began to trade more exclusively with wine and at this point the seeds of their modern business model were planted. Gaetano, referred to as ‘Nino’, was the innovator in this family affair, identifying a rapidly expanding export market and moved production in the 1950s from a small winery in Bardolino to a more spacious site with spectacular view across Lake Garda. Nino set up their own Wine Museum in 1991, aiming to endorse the culture and the story of their wine production in Bardolino over the years.
