About Zonta

SUSTAINABLY FARMED

     Vigneto due Santi was founded in 1965 by the Zonta family. dynamic and entrepreneurial, the siblings Nino, Attilio, Maria, Armando and Renzo contributed to the rebirth of the economy in Bassano's post-war period. With strong ties to the agricultural traditions of their land, in the early 1960's they managed to acquire land in Bassano del Grappa that was particularly suited to vineyards and they built a beautiful wine estate carved out of the hillside where the winemaking process still takes place today. In 1969, after almost a decade after the planting of the first vines and after 24 months of aging in oak barrels, the first bottle of Vigneto due Santi wine was produced. 

     The passion for wine that was found in the Zonta household took hold in two young men of the second generation, Stefano and Adriano, who, after their studies decided to put themselves on the line and accept the challenge to enter the winemaking business. With a great love for the land, these sensitive vintners brought fresh new ideas to the estate. Constantly favoring the natural developments of the vines, they produced fewer grapes but with high quality and expressiveness. Aiming to find harmony between man and the land, they succeeded in rapidly turning Vigneto Due Santi into one of the top Cabernet and Merlot in all of northeast Italy.
