Description
What kind of wine it is
Soave Classico Vigne Alte by Zeni is a still white wine with a lively character, where Garganega and Trebbiano are blended with Chardonnay in a harmonious mix. It appears a pale straw yellow with bright greenish highlights. The bouquet is intense and delicate, characterised by notes of elderflower and hints of vine blossom. On the palate, it is elegant and notably persistent, with a typical slightly bitter aftertaste. When enjoyed young, it best expresses its natural fragrance.
Where it comes from
This white originates from the Soave Classico area, located in the eastern part of the Veronese hills. The vineyards grow on soils composed of volcanic tuff, a mineral-rich base that gives the wine savouriness and a well-defined freshness. This particular terroir allows the grapes to develop remarkable aromatic finesse. The result is an authentic Venetian sip, appreciated for its clean aromas and smooth drinkability.
How it is produced
The production process begins with a rigorous manual harvest aimed at selecting only perfectly ripe bunches. Vinification involves a brief skin maceration followed by gentle pressing of the grapes. Fermentation of the must takes place at a controlled temperature to preserve the aromatic integrity. Finally, maturation in steel helps maintain the typical lively fruitiness, offering a clean and linear flavour profile.

Later the task was entrusted to Gaetano Zeni who in addition to the deliveries began to intercede also the products transported, among them the wine so much that in the 50's had a spacious cellar erected on the hills that from Bardolino extend to the south a few hundred meters from the slope east of Lake Garda.
At the moment Fausto Zeni is taking care of the enological part in the cellar, while his sister Federica is in charge of relations with public relations and marketing. In about 25 hectares of vineyards there are 5 denominations: Bardolino, near the headquarters, then moving to the east we have Valpolicella, Lugana, Custoza and Soave.
To mention the Wine Museum set up by the Company at the Costabella locality of Bardolino, the very spacious Bottaia where in about 1500 square meters lie different types of barrels and the beautiful "Tempio di Bacco" a room full of paintings that tells the figure of Bacchus. Read more
