The pursuit of quality in respect of the balances of nature is one of the main prerogatives of the If–Zen company. Agronomist and oenologist work together in choosing the farming system, pruning, low yield per plant, to the harvest by hand. In the winery, wine is processed with traditional techniques revisited and adapted to a material that changes from a parcel of vines to the other, separating even some batches of grapes from specific vineyards and using for maturation and fining containers of different materials. If–Zen is a company of people who are highly fond of this area and are related to it. The oenologist himself begins his journey right here, in the various realities of the Euganean Hills wine, then combining his studies and his training with some experience in highly suitable areas, such as Friuli and Tuscany, in Italy, and valuable partnerships with wineries in countries like France and Argentina.



From knowledge and comparison of wines from different continents and terroirs, from the union of traditional and innovative techniques, hence the distinctive Maeli wines, embodied in the careful selection of the types of wines, from the classic ones to the reserves, on which steps in wooden barrels from prestigious French tonellerie are experienced. The same classic method based on Pinot Noir, which rests 48 months on its lees, has been designed according to the company’s project to produce wines for the new millennium through the craft and traditional methods and knowledge. No rush, wait: a kind of discipline that comes from the Oriental thought and philosophy and that If–Zen made in ​​its approach with wine, waiting for the right time when a wine reveals its history and that of the lands from which it has origin, expressing personality, elegance and longevity: these are the qualities which distinguish the most prestigious wines in the world.
