THE ZONIN1821 GROUP
Founded in 1821 in Gambellara, Veneto, ZONIN 1821 is a group that produces quality Made in Italy products, renowned for having contributed to the international export of Italian wine-growing culture and its valued products.
The beating heart of this all-Italian entrepreneurial reality is the Zonin Family, which for seven generations and over two hundred years of history has cultivated, interpreted and handed down a unique cultural heritage with a progressive look to the future: care for the territory, enhancement of local wine-making traditions, respect for biodiversity, technical experimentation, innovation in production processes and sustainable development are the elements that express the company’s DNA.
With a turnover of approximately 200 million euros and goals for strong expansion at the global level, today the group is led by an international management team headed by Pietro Mattioni, as the CEO, alongside the brothers Domenico, Francesco and Michele Zonin, who respectively hold the roles of President and Vice President.

OUR VALUES
The Group promotes sustainable development in all its aspects: environmental, economic and social. Among the many activities carried out to preserve the soil and the ecosystem, the company is committed to restricting the use of technical means in viticulture, rationalizing water resources for irrigating the vineyards, encouraging the use of renewable and clean–energy sources, and protecting local flora and fauna by implementing reforestation, where necessary.
Energy
We aim for complete self-sufficiency by using photovoltaic technology, protecting the landscape in which the panels are placed to minimize their visual impact.
People
The success of Zonin 1821 is based on the strength and vision of different communities, passionate about wine, united by a deep respect for the traditions and the places where they work and grow.
Biodiversity
We protect biodiversity through reforestation projects and maintenance of local flora and fauna, to preserve the natural beauty of the places unchanged.
The impact in viticulture
We limit the use of herbicides as much as possible, preserving life in the soil. We have chosen to reintroduce the traditional technique of natural fertilization, to provide the soil with nutrients for the vine.
Water resources
We use technologies that allow us to rationalize the irrigation of vineyards and prevent vine diseases. We have created artificial lakes to collect rainwater without affecting the aquifers.
