Zeni

The vertex of the genealogical tree of this Cellar is represented by Bartolomeo Zeni who in 1870 had undertaken the activity of transporter of foodstuff using manual carts, only at the end of the 800 began to circulate the first means with internal combustion engine.

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.
