Franco Zanovello

At a Glance The Euganean Hills are a geology lesson in working terms: volcanic rock, older and newer limestone, and soils that shift by origin and age. Franco Zanovello frames the terrain that way because the site is not backdrop; it is the governing material condition for the wines.

Signature

A Cengia - Dry Organic Muscat Veneto IGT is among Franco's signature wines. The name sits on the label, but the work starts in a place where geology is not abstract and the soil profile is part of the brief.

In Their Words “The Euganean Hills are an open-air school of geology, with volcanic rocks and soils often interspersed with limestones of different ages and origins.” “Yes, that’s right. Even after so many years, the key factor that allows us to achieve our most important goals is the human element.”
