Zonin

Zonin is an Italian wine brand founded in 1821 by the Zonin family in Gambellara, in the Veneto region of northern Italy, with an alcohol-free sparkling wine range introduced in 2021. The company, operating as Zonin1821, is one of the largest private vine-growing and winemaking businesses in Italy, currently led by the seventh generation of the family under President Domenico Zonin. Widely associated with Prosecco and Italian sparkling wine production, Zonin1821 is recognised as one of the most significant family-owned wine producers in the world.

The AF range launched in late 2021 with its first alcohol-free product, a sparkling wine produced using vacuum distillation: the wine is heated under reduced pressure, which lowers the boiling point and allows alcohol to be drawn off at temperatures low enough to protect the delicate aromas that define the wine's character. Zonin's decision to enter the alcohol-free category was explicitly tied to growing consumer demand for mindful drinking options, applying its established sparkling wine expertise to a 0.0% format.

The AF range is currently focused on a single sparkling wine, sitting at a premium price point relative to supermarket own-label AF sparkling options. Distribution covers specialist online retail and mainstream online grocery channels. For a brand with more than two centuries of Italian winemaking behind it, the alcohol-free offering represents a cautious but credible step into a category where established wine producers have historically been slow to move. Sober-curious drinkers looking for a recognised Italian sparkling wine name in a 0.0% format have few comparably credentialled alternatives.
