Santa Cristina Chardonnay Garda

A Garda Chardonnay with a clear signature: five months of wood aging, which gives the wine substance without dominating it.

Sergio Zenato is one of the most renowned names on Lake Garda. The family winery in Peschiera del Garda has been cultivating wines since the 1960s, wines known for their reliability and Mediterranean character. The single vineyard Santa Cristina yields Chardonnay grapes that benefit from mild nights and the temperature-regulating influence of the lake.

The glass reveals aromas of citrus peel, ripe apricot, and a subtle hint of hazelnut—the latter a direct result of oak aging. The finish is smooth, pleasantly long, and without any overpowering oak sweetness.

Temperature: 10–12 °C
Dishes: Pasta with cream sauce, grilled sea bream, mild goat cheese or risotto alla milanese
Occasion: An uncomplicated companion for an evening for two or as an aperitif with antipasti

Sergio Zenato

The Zenato winery was founded in 1960 by Sergio Zenato and is today, after his death, managed by his wife Carla and their children Alberto and Nadia. Located south of Lake Garda, the family business has around 95 hectares of vineyards in two of the most renowned locations in Northern Italy: Valpolicella and Lugana. Both growing regions are among the best of their kind and give Zenato's wines their unmistakable origin.

On the mineral-rich soils around the lake, grape varieties such as Corvina, Rondinella, Trebbiano, Merlot, Garganega and Chardonnay thrive – a variety that is typical of the region and forms the basis for the winery's different styles. The mild microclimate on Lake Garda, characterized by warm days and balancing winds from the lake, ensures even ripening of the grapes and thus creates the perfect conditions for quality in every vintage.

From a family business to an internationally respected name: Zenato now exports its wines within Italy, throughout Europe and now to the USA. Around two million bottles are produced annually – and despite this size, the demand for artisanal quality and terroir loyalty remains the foundation of every bottle that leaves the house today.
