Prowein 2016: ZONIN1821 Introduces
New Estates Wines and New Packagings for the Castello di Albola wines
Domenico Zonin, Chief Executive Officer at ZONIN1821 express the innovative spirit and the strength of a
contemporary company that can count on a solid family of vintners since 1821. Internationally recognised as one of the
most relevant family owned wine companies in Italy, ZONIN1821 is more and more appreciated for producing high quality
wines and pursuing a standing improvement in his portfolio. And will welcome guests at the new corporate stand (C01,
Hall 16) during the annual German wine exhibition.
With a production of 52 million bottles in 2015, ZONIN1821 has confirmed its position as a genuine leader of Italian
wine exports on an international level, with a significant presence in more than 110 markets and export figures
representing 80% of the company's total sales volume in 2015 that closed at €182 million (€160 million in 2014).
At Prowein 2016 we launch or promote a lot of new products, both in the on-trade and in the off-trade.
Ø
Castello di Albola new Brand Logo and Packaging: conscious of a brand essence linked to elegance and
tradition, we decided both to create a new Castello di Albola logo image - making it more modern and
representative of the Villa which is in the estate - and to renovate the wine bottles packaging - conveying the
attractiveness and the distinction of our Chianti Classico Estate.
Ø
Rocca di Montemassi new Rosato: the first rosato wine of the estate is made by Syrah grapes. It has soft rose
and cinnamon scents and wild berry fruit overlaid. It's a touch slippery in texture, with bright red berry fruit
character, neat and lightly sloshed around the palate. There's some good mandariny acid tension too. The finish is
stony and it presents details of mineral, acid and kind phenolic grippiness.
Ø
Zonin Sparklings refreshed Packaging and Prosecco Dress Code Collection: after years of strong presence
in the German market, we refreshed the packaging of our Zonin brand sparkling wines. At Prowein we also
present new Prosecco Dress Code Collection, a strong concept of Prosecco that leverage on the colour codes and
the emotions that black, grey and white usually suggest to create a connection between our Prosecco (Glera +
Pinot Bianco/Grigio/Nero) and the consumers feelings.
Ø
Zonin Velluto wines: Velluto is a Veneto Igt wine, crafted with a blend of Corvina and Merlot, made memorable
by its intense aromas. This wine is distributed by Mack & Schule, our exclusive partner for the off trade market in
Germany.
