Almost a hundred years have passed, since the day when Bepi Zardetto lost his chariot, his horses, and the entire load of barrels during the retreat of Caporetto, on the Italian front in the First World War. One hundred years that have seen a family tracing their history in a straight, continuous line, marked by the work and the passion of its members.
Between the silver medal with which in 1934 Ernesto Zardetto was awarded in the Sweet Wines category (or, as he called them, “vin da botiglia”) and the affirmation of Prosecco Zardetto on the international market and on the tables around the world, there is only the long fruitful path of the same, extraordinary dedication to wine–making that the Zardetto family has handed down from father to son.
After Bepi, Ernesto and Pino, silent protagonists of an unbroken history, it was the turn of Fabio, the sole owner since 1998, to give a new verve to the company. Convinced advocate of the need to devote himself exclusively to the specialized production of Prosecco Spumante, in 2002 paved the way to the construction of a new winery, equipped with cutting–edge technologies. His constant pursuit of excellence led to in a great impulse to the modernization of sparkling wine making techniques, in an optimal organization of production and in constructive cooperation with the winemakers of confidence in the most suited vineyards.
Fabio Zardetto, careful breeder of grapes and a great connoisseur of the terroirs of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, wants to believe firmly that its wines are an expression of the different specificities of every single vineyard, fruit of his personal research and of love for his land.
