i. Biography
She was born into the trade. In Annalisa Zorzettig’s own words, her family has made wine for many generations, and that lineage is the frame for her work at Zorzettig. The claim is simple: inheritance, place, and a role she describes as hers by right of family continuity.
Coming Up
The handover in 2006 did not mark a break from tradition so much as a continuation with direction. Annalisa Zorzettig became head of the company and winemaker at Zorzettig in Colli Orientali del Friuli, bringing formal responsibility to a family structure she had already grown up inside. The work reads as succession with management attached: the vineyard and cellar as a familiar system, and the decisions after 2006 as her own.
Where They Are Now
The company now runs under Annalisa Zorzettig in Cividale del Friuli with a stated shift toward biodiversity, staff relations, hospitality, and the services around the wine, alongside quality. That change in emphasis is the craft story here: not a rejection of what came before, but a broader definition of what a wine company is responsible for. Under her direction, the vineyard is treated as part of a wider working landscape, with people and place held in the same frame as the finished wine.
Signature
The named wines associated with Annalisa Zorzettig — Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso 2015, Pignolo Myò, Tenaci, and Ribolla Gialla Annalisa Zorzettig — point to a cellar identity grounded in varietal and place. The set suggests range without leaving the company’s territory: wines that mark out a style through naming, not ornament, and that stay close to the geography of Zorzettig.
In Their Words “I changed our company philosophy and decided to be focused on biodiversity in the vineyards, services that we offer, our relationships with members of our staff and our hospitality points in addition to quality.” “Andrà tutto bene is a good wish for the future that needs to be translated in a practical action right now. We love our land and our community, and we asked ourselves how we could help.”
