    Portrait of Nadia Zenato

    i. Biography

    The Climb

    Family continuity is the operating frame of Zenato Winery in Peschiera del Garda, and Nadia Zenato has been part of that line of work since 1997. The company founded by Sergio and Carla is carried here through production, market reach, and the daily discipline required to keep Lake Garda and Valpolicella wines moving into more than 60 countries.

    Today

    Since 1997, Zenato has anchored Nadia Zenato’s work as Wine Producer, with Lake Garda and Valpolicella carrying the company’s identity beyond the territory. The scale is measurable: more than 60 countries, reached through international relationships and a steady commercial rhythm. In this kind of production, consistency is not background; it is the method that keeps the wines legible from vineyard to market. Since 2001, Azienda Agricola La Sansonina has also been part of Nadia Zenato’s remit as Wine Producer. Across both estates, the work is shaped by discipline, elegance, creativity, and the relationship-building needed to move regional wines into wider circulation. The result is a practice that stays close to place while working continuously at distance, balancing local responsibility with export-facing demands. Her own words place the emphasis squarely on the work of representation: "Today, I have chosen to devote more time to what has always been the most authentic part of my journey: Building relationships and promoting the wines of my territory on an international stage." That approach keeps production and market-making connected, with vineyard, cellar, territory, and export all held in the same frame.
