About Zonin
Zonin 1821 represents nearly 200 years of Italian winemaking heritage, with seven generations of the Zonin family crafting wines from their home in Gambellara, Veneto. As Italy's largest private vine-growing and winemaking company, Zonin has transformed from a local family business into a global ambassador for Italian wine excellence under the leadership of successive generations. The Zonin story began in 1821 when Giovanni Battista and Girolamo Antonio Zonin were recorded as vineyard owners in the heart of Veneto, between Verona and Vicenza. This region's winemaking tradition stretches back over 2,000 years to Roman times, with archaeological evidence of ancient harvests found in a 1st century AD villa. Today, led by President Domenico Zonin alongside his brothers Francesco and Michele, the family continues a legacy built by their father Gianni, who transformed the company into a global enterprise over 40 years. Zonin is renowned for its premium Prosecco DOC, including the celebrated Cuvée 1821 named after the family's founding year. The brand has also embraced the growing demand for alcohol-free alternatives with Cuvée Zero, an elegant 0% sparkling wine that maintains the festive character of traditional Prosecco. From vineyard to glass, quality control remains paramount to the Zonin philosophy. Zonin UK was established in 2006 to ensure direct control over distribution and quality in the British market. Operating as an independent business unit handling everything from import to marketing, Zonin UK has established the brand as a leader in the UK on-trade sector. Zonin wines are available through leading UK supermarkets and wine retailers, bringing authentic Italian sparkling wine to British celebrations.
