The story of Zenato is the story of a family that firmly planted its roots in the land. It was made possible thanks to the passion and entrepreneurial vision of the estate’s founder, Sergio, who managed to fulfill his greatest dream: to create a winery capable of harvesting the fruits of the earth and transform them into emotions with matchless flavor.
Today, more than 60 years later, the results are testament to his extraordinary vision. A wonderful story took shape thanks to his vision and today its star is his family: Wife Carla and children Alberto and Nadia.
Their eyes and their heart continue down the path that Sergio laid out with great clarity as he steadied the course toward quality and love for their land. Over time, that land wasn’t just Lugana but also Valpolicella, with its celebrated red wines and their matchless aromas.

“From father to son. When your first steps happen between the rows in the vineyards. When family lunches are nourished by hope for a bountiful harvest. It’s difficult not to heed the call of the land. Difficult to forget who you are. But, above all, it’s difficult not to think about what you could do for your wines if your hands intertwine with those of your parents in an authentic way. I still feel that special warmth, even when I’m alone.”

“Ever since I was a child, my father’s vision has shaped my imagination. His dream was for us to have a horizon to follow. His vitality and energy always brought us together and he taught us how to face the world with eyes wide open.”

“Family is everything. I love my home. I’m devoted to my children. I have never stopped helping Sergio. We worked together, two voices, one understanding.”
