Host information
Someone said that in a glass of wine there's a man's life... for us it's much more than that. We are a small winery with a long history, located in the area of Upper Piedmont.
Four generations of Zanetta spent in the vineyards and cellars. Since the last years of 1800 the families of Elena's great-grandparents' great-grandparents used to go with carts to work in the vineyards of Cureggio and then transform in their cellars and then resell an excellent product. Later Elena's grandparents, Angelo and Angela, with more modern means and partly renewing the cellars, continued these activities assisted, since he was a boy, by his son Giuseppe; a life of work, his, made with great enthusiasm and always supported by an inexhaustible passion. In the last years of 1900 Giuseppe realized one of his dreams: to replant and expand the ancient vineyard of Cureggio.
Hard work, constant commitment and great passion without ever giving in to adversity, not only atmospheric, have led to the realization of the current reality: "Madonna dell'Uva". We have been producing, for four generations, excellent red wines, rare, well balanced, native and pure.
Our company is located in the municipalities of Cureggio and Borgomanero, in the province of Novara. We want to introduce you our wines not only because they are really good, but also because they represent a typical regional rarity.
