Sansonina is a Lugana DOC natural fermentation of the Zenato winery, born with the idea of strengthening the bond with the Garda area, making the best grapes of the Lugana, those of the Vigna del Moraro Verde. A sensational straw-yellow wine with golden reflections, in which we find the typical aromas of these lands, from almond to exotic fruit, to honey.
Sergio Zenato founded his winery in 1960 on the Veneto side south of Lake Garda, in the lands of Lugana and Valpolicella, devoting himself with passion and great spirit of enterprise to the cultivation of native vines such as Trebbiano di Lugana and the renowned Corvina, Rondinella and Osoleta. Thanks to new winemaking techniques and a strong bond with the territory, today the Zenato company, led by his sons and his wife, extends for 75 hectares between the S. Cristina Estate in San Benedetto di Lugana and the Costalunga Estate in Valpolicella, and exports high quality wines such as the famous Amarone Zenato, in 60 countries of the world, synonymous with excellence and dedication to the territory.
Sansonina is a Lugana DOC born from the rediscovery of ancient winemaking traditions by concentrating the work in the cellar on spontaneous fermentation. A very pleasant wine where the minerality of the soil blends with a certain roundness that conquers the palate. The Trebbiano di Lugana grapes are 100% pure and carefully harvested by hand, followed by vinification through the fermentation of indigenous yeasts naturally present on the grapes. Then follows the phase of destemming with soft pressing, and a second fermentation in stainless steel tanks for another 20 days. At the end of a complex and natural process, an excellent wine recognized and appreciated by the most expert palates is obtained.
