Zorzettig conquers the Triveneto. Annalisa Zorzettig’s oenological excellence conquered the Veneto and Trentino press during a lunch organised at the Darì restaurant in the heart of Verona. The historic producer from Spessa (Udine) chose the city of Verona to present to local journalists the best of her prestigious Myò line, dedicated to the indigenous Friulian vines that best celebrate her territory. During the lunch, Annalisa, flanked by agronomist Antonio Nocca and sales manager Alan Gaddi, spoke about the company’s history, future projects and its commitment to preserving Friuli’s biodiversity. An ad hoc menu was then created in collaboration with the restaurant to highlight the organoleptic characteristics of Pinot Bianco, Malvasia, I Fiori di Leonie (a blend of Friulano, Sauvignon and Pinot Bianco) and Schioppettino. At the end of the meal, another icon of sweet wine production: Picolit.

An exclusive experience the launch of Harmonia Mundi by Santa Margherita. The first sparkling wine made in Venice from grapes grown in the cloisters of San Francesco della Vigna, which for 800 years have guarded the city’s oldest urban vineyard. A unique wine, proposed in a limited edition with only 1. 107 precious, numbered bottles for the 2022 vintage, capable of encapsulating the mysticism of the places of prayer and the essence of the lagoon territory, Harmonia Mundi is a Charmat Method sparkling wine that draws its finesse and complexity from a prolonged rest on the lees for at least six months, together with the noble grape varieties that give it its birth: Glera and Malvasia, the most widespread white varietals in Veneto at the time of the Serenissima, replanted at San Francesco della Vigna by Santa Margherita agronomists in 2019. A wine that brings back the traditional cultivation techniques of the past. The production of this precious sparkling wine is the result of the redevelopment of the vineyards that have inhabited the cloisters of the convent since 1253: an ambitious project aimed at sealing the historic bond between the iconic wine brand and the city of Venice. What makes the Harmonia Mundi sparkling wine even more exclusive is its very precious packaging: a screen-printed bottle whose blue and gold nuances bring to mind the colours of the lagoon and the reflections of the lights that are reflected in the waters of its canals at night. Unique then, is the elegant case made using wood from disused briccole, a further tribute to the city and the unique origins of this wine.
For this unique event, Zedcomm took care of the selection and organisation of the press tour.

At the beginning of June, we organized a press and lifestyle/wine influencer trip to discover the generational change taking place in Alto Adige. Prominent producers who have elevated this small region (only 1% of Italian wine production) to the pinnacle of world enology are choosing to pass the baton to their children—young, well-prepared, and enterprising individuals. Alto Adige stands out in this trend: here, more than in any other prestigious wine-growing area, the focus is strongly on the new generation. The new generations are making their presence felt in our territory. Among private estates, cooperative wineries, and small growers, the companies in Alto Adige are driven by tradition and passion, and they are passing the baton to the young—aged between 22 and 40—with the aim of continually elevating the quality of their wines. With our guests, and in collaboration with the Consorzio Vini Alto Adige, we visited several of these enterprises, met around forty young enthusiasts, tasted many labels—with a particular focus on Gewürztraminer and St. Magdalena—dined at the best restaurants in the area, and even took e-bike tours through the vineyards around Lake Caldaro. Objective? To give visibility through the reports of the journalists and content creators involved to a new generation of winemakers who are making quite a “noise” with the intention of being heard and carrying on the projects started by their grandparents and parents. These young people have great enthusiasm and competence, backed by significant educational backgrounds and experiences from around the world, which they eagerly shared with the press, who were impressed by the energy and the “beauty” of each glasses.
