Prosecco Brut (Organic Grapes) DOC For more than 40 years, the Zardetto family has been handcrafting Prosecco near the historic town of Conegliano in Italy’s Veneto region. Seeking to honor the rich, beautiful land and preserve this winemaking tradition for future generations, Fabio Zardetto has created this Prosecco using only carefully selected and certified organically grown grapes from the finest hilltop vineyards. This not only reflects Fabio’s commitment to quality but also his philosophy to work harmoniously with nature, maintain and restore the environment and create eco-friendly production techniques. With crisp, refreshing notes of white flowers, peaches, and herbs, this sparkling wine celebrates the achievements of Zardetto’s past and its hopes and aspirations for the future.

Prosecco Brut DOC Made from 100% Glera (formerly known as Prosecco) sourced from select vineyards around the hills of Conegliano. The first fermentation takes place after a brief maceration, which enhances the typical citrus and tropical aromas of the Glera grapes. These intense, fruity aromas are preserved through the second fermentation, which takes place in large temperature-controlled stainless steel containers.

Tre Venti Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Rive di Ogliano Brut DOCG Tre Venti, a limited edition single vineyard Prosecco, is the result of Fabio Zardetto’s never-ending research into the Prosecco DOCG world. The hill of Ogliano enjoys a southern exposure where the term “rive” refers to the most prized part of the hill—much the same as “bricco,” “ronco,” and “poggio” are used in other regions in Italy. Moreover, the Tre Venti vineyard (located on the eastern border of the DOCG) is chilled during summer nights by a complex system of three winds ( tre venti ) blowing from the east. This effect allows the fruit-driven aromas and the fresh acidity of this Prosecco to develop slowly but fully.

Rosé Vino Spumante After four decades of Prosecco experience, Fabio Zardetto decided to delve deeper into the world of bubbles by producing this unconventional sparkler. His Rosé is made with 100% Raboso Veronese, which he chose for its impressive structure and great acidity, which makes it very food-friendly, as well as its obvious alluring color.

Zeta Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Dry DOCG Produced in limited quantity, this vintage-dated sparkling wine takes its name from the first letter of the Zardetto family name, “Zeta” in Italian. Zeta is made from carefully hand-selected Glera grapes (formerly known as Prosecco) grown in a single vineyard in the San Pietro di Feletto commune, one of the best sites in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene zone. This is an exciting, complex sparkling wine with personality – the delicious culmination of Zardetto’s relentless research into the area’s treasured grape varieties.
