Zanasi Società Agricola
Emilia-Romagna, Italy
Philosophy
Native fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks with minimal intervention; native yeasts employed, sulfites kept to bottling only. The house pursues cold maceration for deep pigmentation and minimal oxidation, bottling upon demand to preserve the ephemeral freshness of these sparkling reds.
Reputation
In 1900, Luigi Zanasi transformed a small farmhouse into a modest winery on the Modena plain, an origin still rooted in the clay-rich piedmont soils at the foot of the Apennines. Four generations have followed this lineage through the twentieth century's upheavals, with the contemporary house now stewarded by Marco Zanasi—the great-grandson of Luigi's son Bruno—who inherited both the centennial tradition and the land purchased by his grandfather in 1978.
