Vineyards were planted in 1968, and her son Maurizio Zanella began making wine in the early 1970s. A trip to France in 1973 convinced him that the morainic soils south of Lake Iseo could produce sparkling wine of real class, and he built the first proper cellar soon after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZanella went on to be a driving force behind the Franciacorta DOCG, the appellation that requires bottle fermentation and long ageing on the lees.

Yields are kept deliberately low to maximise concentration, and the grapes are harvested by hand, with strict selection both in the vineyard and on sorting tables. After gentle destemming and crushing, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks, often with frequent pump-overs to extract colour, flavour and fine tannins. The wine is then aged in small French oak barriques, a significant proportion of them new, for an extended period to develop complexity, integrate the oak and refine the tannic structure before blending, bottling and further bottle ageing prior to release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a gastronomic red that shines alongside richly flavoured dishes: think grilled or roasted red meats, dry-aged steaks, slow-braised beef or lamb shanks, game birds, and hearty stews.

Serve at around 16–18°C (60–64°F) in large Bordeaux glasses to allow the wine to open up fully.

The vines are low-yielding and meticulously tended, with hand-harvesting into small crates to protect the berries. At the winery, the grapes undergo gentle, gravity-fed handling and careful selection before fermentation.
