Together with his wife Carla, Sergio worked the land to create a brand and legacy that continue today with his children Nadia and Alberto. Sergio saw promise in Trebbiano di Lugana and planted roots in San Benedetto di Lugana where today, the family’s S. Cristina estate sits amidst 95 hectares of vineyard land. He later took over the Costalunga estate in the heart of Valpolicella Classica and began crafting wines using the local Corvina, Rondinella and Oseleta varieties. Over the years, Zenato raised the standard for Valpolicella and today the family remains committed to crafting the highest quality wines the region has to offer. Zenato has long been considered one of the region’s premier producers, with hallmark wines including their Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, as well as their Ripassa, Valpolicella Superiore, and Alanera Rosso Veronese. Nadia is responsible for the company strategy, the sales network and marketing of the Zenato winery. On top of that, she is also the winemaker of the Sansonina company, with which she aimed to create the ‘Rosso Sansonina del Garda’ - a red wine in the land of white.
