ZF4: the Agricultural Company
The company is made up of the four Zanoni brothers and sisters; Giovanni, Marco, Laura and Silvia, heirs to the Zanoni family property and business.The name Zanoni is native to Lazise, a municipality situated towards the south of Lake Garda and noteworthy as being one of the oldest in Europe.
AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITY ON LAKE GARDA
During the second half of the 19th century the family developed a successful business, both productive and commercial, connected with the breeding of silkworms. The profits were invested in agriculture and farming, which have been continued to the present day on the family lands situated on the morenic hills overlooking Lake Garda.
PRODUCTS
The cultivation of vines, olives and dairy cattle were, and continue to be, the main areas of production. The Zanoni family recognises the invaluable contribution over the generations of some extraordinary people - originally in the role of crop sharers and today as close collaborators of the family.
THE CELLAR AT LAZISE
The wine cellar is situated in the ancient centre of Lazise, under the original Medieval (13thC) town walls; of which the tower at the South East corner makes up part of the family property. The wine cellar has undergone recent renovation to create a space where visitors may be welcomed into a suggestive atmosphere of past times.
