Among the 'World's top 50 most admired wine brands 2020' in Drinks International Magazine.

Zonin1821 is one of the most important family-owned wineries in Italy and in the world. An historic family of winegrowers now in its seventh generation, Zonin is renowned for the quality of its wines and its entrepreneurial dynamism. Its mission, starting with Italy, is to optimize its wines and its winegrowing regions with far- sightedness and familial continuity.

Inspired by the principle ‘to each region its traditions, to each region its wine’, since the end of the 1960s the family has selected only supremely well-suited terroirs, bringing the sum total of currently cultivated vineyards to approximately 2000 hectares. Its team is made up of 32 winemakers and agronomists operating across 12 estates located in the 7 most outstanding Italian winegrowing regions, in addition to the American estate of Barboursville Vineyards in Virginia (USA) and the Chilean estate of Dos Almas.

Their expertise in each winegrowing area, promotion of the ‘Italian lifestyle’ worldwide, quest for excellence through continuous improvement and the foresight and solidity of their entrepreneurial strategy are the most important values underpinning the company.

This collection is a great summation of the label, showcasing three of their best wines (white and red) so that there's a favourite for everyone!

Collection includes:

2 x Zonin Classici Friuli DOC Pinot Grigio 2019 (Italy)

AWARDED 90/100 POINTS & 4.5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2021

"It's delightfully vibrant and delicately fragrant on the nose with crunchy apple, green pear, lemon and white floral aromas. The palate delivers bright fruit flavours together with fine focus and a lingering zesty finish" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2021

Appealing straw-yellow color green with delicate reflections. Delicately fruity, relatively full and ample with an ensemble of aromas of great finesse. Lightly dry yet extremely fresh. Its pleasantly balanced and elegant structure makes this an unusually refined and aristocratic wine.

Food Pairing: It combines well with white meats, and steamed or grilled fish. In addition, it makes a fine aperitif and is highly suited to every occasion outside meals.

Alc: 12%

2 x Zonin Classici Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC 2019 (Italy)

AWARDED 91/100 POINTS & 4.5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2021

"Brightly ripe and perfumed with dark plum, raspberry, cumin and floral notes on the nose, it's succulent and supple with fleshy texture and fine-grained tannins. It's upfront and flavoursome with a lengthy silky finish" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2021

Brilliant, attractive and warm ruby-red color. Ample and remarkably complex, with vinous and characteristic tones. Dry on the palate and gracious, with delicate and soft veining, a fine and harmonious balance.

Food Pairing: The wine can be consumed throughout a meal and makes a fine accompaniment for all red meat dishes, savory preparations of the rural tradition and moderately aged cheeses.

Alc: 13%

2 x Zonin Classici Chianti DOCG 2019 (Italy)

AWARDED 90/100 POINTS & 4.5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2021

"Attractively charming and elegantly lifted, the bouquet shows sweet cherry, thyme, cured meat and nutmeg aromas, leading to a juicy palate that's beautifully rounded and refreshing. It's finely textured and persistent with a pleasingly dry finish" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2021

Bright ruby-red color of an attractive intensity. In its youth, it is richly marked by violet reflections that tend to become garnet with age. Characteristically intense, fine and elegant and distinguished by an elegant scent of violets and tenuous perfumes of wild berries. Dry, full, properly balanced and extremely enticing with lingering acidity and flavors of cherry and spice.

Food Pairing: When it is young, the wine combines well with the hearty flavors of country cooking and it can be consumed throughout such meals. After the third year, it becomes the ideal companion of every type of roast, grilled red meat, game and cheeses aged at moderate length.

Alc: 12.5%
