Zonin

Zonin is an Italian wine producer based in Gambellara, in the Veneto region, recognised as one of the finest Italian sparkling wine producers and active in over 140 countries. The commercial winery, Cantine Zonin, was founded in Gambellara in 1921 and is now in its seventh generation of family ownership under the Zonin1821 name. Cadastral records from 1821 first named Giovanni Battista Zonin and Girolamo Antonio Zonin as vineyard owners in the area, and the business has since grown to rank among the top five wine producers in Italy. Known in particular for Prosecco, Zonin1821 also produces an alcohol-free sparkling wine.

Zonin1821 exports 85% of its production and employs over 500 people. Across Italy, it owns estates including Ca' Bolani in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Castello del Poggio in Piedmont, Tenuta Il Bosco in Lombardy, Castello di Albola in Tuscany, Masseria Altemura in Puglia and Principi di Butera in Sicily. The producer makes still wines and sparkling wines from DOC and DOCG appellations and recorded a turnover of €190 million in 2020.

The alcohol-free sparkling wine is made by dealcoholisation, a process in which wine is fermented to full strength and the alcohol then removed. The method used is a spinning cone column, which spins the wine at low temperatures to preserve aromatic compounds before the alcohol is stripped. Made from a blend of white grape varieties, the drink contains 0.2% alcohol. Zonin1821 is sold through multiple retail channels internationally.
