i. Biography
Her work is Grower Prosecco from vineyards at the base of the Dolomites, but the story behind it is as much about memory as it is about method: her grandmother’s osteria, convivial tables, A Fondo, and Tajad. In Cinzia Canzian’s hands, Prosecco is not merely made; it is carried forward, with the quiet continuity of family habits, regional ritual, and the kind of attention that turns a glass into a place.
Coming Up
That early grounding seems to have informed everything that followed: an approach attentive to detail, but never cold; disciplined, yet always oriented toward the pleasures and sociability that Prosecco naturally invites. Since 2004, Cinzia has been the winemaker of Alice - Life Is A Bubble, bringing that experience into a role defined by finesse and consistency. Over the years, the work has taken on the steady confidence of someone who knows both the technical demands of the cellar and the emotional register of the table.
Where They Are Now
Today, the label’s defining craft is Grower Prosecco from vineyards at the base of the Dolomites. The geography matters here: these wines are rooted in a landscape that lends the work its sense of elevation and clarity, and the result is a style that feels closely bound to origin. The phrase Grower Prosecco, in Cinzia’s case, carries more than category; it suggests a directness of source, a visible line between vineyard and bottle, and a commitment to preserving character rather than smoothing it away. The base of the Dolomites gives the work its frame, but the family memory running through it gives it warmth.
Signature
Cinzia's signature wines include VALDOBBIADENE SUPERIORE DOCG METODO CLASSICO MILLESIMATO, ALICE 'M FONDO' FRIZZANTE, ALICE 'TAJAD' FRIZZANTE, and Doro. Taken together, they sketch a portfolio that moves between structure and ease, between the elegance implied by VALDOBBIADENE SUPERIORE DOCG METODO CLASSICO MILLESIMATO and the more informal, convivial energy suggested by ALICE 'M FONDO' FRIZZANTE and ALICE 'TAJAD' FRIZZANTE. Doro completes the picture, reinforcing the sense that Cinzia’s work is guided by both craft and continuity, with each wine speaking in the vocabulary of her larger world.
Honors
Her connection is with the Prosecco consortium. That affiliation anchors her profile in the wider tradition from which her work emerges, while also underscoring the seriousness of her training and the persistence of her commitment. In a field where identity can easily be reduced to style alone, Cinzia’s path suggests something richer: a practiced hand, a family inheritance, and a life shaped by the enduring conversation between vineyard, table, and sparkling wine.
