The Zenato winery was founded in 1960 by Sergio Zenato in the heart of Lugana, in Peschiera del Garda. Soon it was extended in the Valpolicella land, in Sant'Ambrogio. Today, the company continues thanks to the hard work of his wife Carla and his children Alberto and Nadia, who consolidated and expanded the project begun by Sergio. The company is in constant evolution, but its values are the same as always: the respect of time, the human aspect, the love for the land and care for tradition.
