Zonin ‘Best European Producer 2007-2008’

-While it is the largest producer in the Italian wine sector, it has not abandoned its family-based approach in its relations with collaborators or the market.
- Zonin’s prestige has always been firmly based on the family. That is because it is a stronghold of rural culture and because the estates are a big family dedicated to the production of premium wines.
- Zonin now possesses more than 3,705 acres of vineyards in the outstanding terroirs of Italy.
- Zonin has carried out a massive effort to update its winerie- which are now among the world’s most modern - and it has launched an ongoing training program for its personnel, beginning with the technical staff.
- This is because quality is for Zonin a mission that will permit everyone to enjoy the very best the Italian vineyards have to offer.
