Garganega, Tai Bianco, Sauvignon, Moscato and Pinot Bianco make up this traditional blend balanced between aromaticity, texture and drinkability. The color is straw yellow with lively reflections, the bouquet is reminiscent of wild flowers and white pulp fruit, the taste is pleasantly rounded with a tantalizing freshness.

Pinella Frizzante Veneto IGT is the result of research and experimentation. This wine boasts a strong character that, following a lively first sip, unfolds into a clean and balanced palate, making it an ideal choice for an aperitif.

Among the white wines of the Zanovello Selections, it stands out for its freshness, light aromaticity and a mild almond finish.

The Olivetani Veneto Bianco IGT is a wine from the Zanovello Selections that tells an exciting story. A successful blend of white grapes that ranges from sweet floral aromas to ripe, exotic fruit.

A white wine with a good balance of freshness and sapidity. Warmth, minerality and persistence are recognizable on the palate.

Among the white wines of the Zanovello Selections, the Manzoni Bianco Veneto IGT is one of the most striking in terms of flavour, complexity on the palate and persistence. A white wine to be tasted even over the years to grasp the interesting evolution of the typical hydrocarbon hints.

The Manzoni Bianco lives on well-drained soils mixed with marl and rhyolitic rocks. The sip is full with an excellent acid – sapid balance.

The Roverello Bianco Veneto IGT is one of the most elegant and sought-after wines from the Zanovello Selections. We have enriched the Chardonnay with a selection of our best grapes, obtaining a richer and more balanced white wine.

Our Bianco Roverello wine grows on lean soils. Here the rhyolitic rock, under the tenacity of the oak tree roots, disintegrates into sand, crushed stone and clay.

‘A Cengia Moscato Secco Veneto IGT is the most curious of the white wines of the Zanovello Selections, thanks to its distinct aromaticity. The nose opens to the floral bouquet of white and yellow flowers, evolving into hints of ripe white-fleshed fruit and aromatic herbs, recalling the notes of a sweet Muscat, but revealing its dry nature with a perfect balance between acidity and savoriness on the palate.

Garganega Veneto IGT is a white wine that is the result of long experimentation. After about ten years, having reached the desired balance, our Garganega entered the Zanovello Selections.

It grows on a strand of grey marl, giving us an unusual white wine with a golden colour and complex aromas. On the palate, the taste is dry, full, with an excellent acid-savoury balance.

From the encounter between Merlot and Cabernet comes our Rosato Veneto IGT. The vines live in a sunny land where broom, olive trees and aromatic plants grow. Vinified in rosé, these grapes give us a wine with a rich and lively colour, with fragrant nuances of dried flowers, crisp white fruits and aromatic herbs. The balance between freshness and savouriness is tantalizing, making the sip taut and always interesting.

Rosso Colli Euganei DOC is a red wine with a versatile character, a sincere expression of our territory. Grapes from volcanic, clayey and calcareous soils give rise to a fruity and floral red, fresh and balanced. The tannin is gentle. Ideal for drinking in its young years, excellent for everyday cooking.

Our Belvedere Marzemino Veneto IGT tells of the conviviality of the Veneto countryside.

The name is a tribute to the Belvedere vineyard, a panoramic hillock of red clay limestone. We are convinced that by nourishing the vines with the sun of the West, with the red and purple tones of the flowers and with the greens of the oak and chestnut woods, we will have a companion with an open word, a wine that declares all its sympathy.

Le Cerese Merlot Veneto IGT originates where volcanic and sedimentary rocks have disintegrated to form lean, deep soils. We grow a Merlot that guarantees moderate but constant yields, resulting in a wine with a dry and solid body. Distinctly fruity with notes of cherry and morello cherry, Le Cerese tells in the glass the characteristics of the terroir in which it is cultivated, surrounded by olive groves and fruit trees.

The Sgussa Cabernet Veneto IGT is a wine with a strong varietal character. The nose is striking for its herbaceous and spicy notes, the palate is full and persistent.

The lean, deep soils of volcanic and sedimentary origin make the presence of tannin unobtrusive. Thanks to its freshness, it is an excellent red wine from a young age, which can also be discovered with pleasure after a spell in the bottle.

Moro Polo Rosso Colli Euganei DOC is a red wine from the Zanovello Selections created from a blend of Merlot and Cabernet grapes. Moro Polo is a surprising and pleasant companion at the table: full-bodied and fresh at the same time, enveloping and persistent on the palate.

The proud and forthright character of our wine honours “Moro Polo”, a forester who guarded the vast slopes of Monte Venda during the last century.

The Sassonero Merlot Colli Euganei DOC from the Zanovello red wine selection is a full-bodied and enveloping Merlot. The surprising persistence and complexity of taste and fragrance make this red wine a Ca’ Lustra excellence.

Difficulties temper man and vine: our Merlot vines, fearless, face torrid and dry summers generating an intense and heady wine, suitable for ageing.

The Girapoggio Cabernet Colli Euganei DOC is a wine with a full and persistent flavour, almost inscrutable at first taste.

The lean, limestone and difficult soil generates concentrated grapes. To accommodate the natural conformation of the terrain, we have planted our Cabernet vines “girapoggio”. The result is a long-lived red wine that combines the Typical herbaceous and spicy hints with warm and fruity notes.

The unrepeatable child of every vintage, Natìo Rosso Colli Euganei DOC is a Bordeaux-style blend designed to last. Our Natìo is born in only a few vintages, when Cabernet and Merlot combine perfectly to give life to a wine of great structure. Surprising is the pleasantness of the taste from a young age, and the depth and elegance of the sensations it gives.

Our Fior d’Arancio DOCG Colli Euganei Spumante is an aromatic wine with an elegant perlage. Among the sweet wines, it has always accompanied festivities.

Fior d’Arancio, the variety of Yellow Muscat grape grown in the Euganean Hills, maintains a strongly Mediterranean, sunny and vigorous character. Thick, colourful skin, intense aromas and crunchy pulp are the distinctive features of this variety that loves bright, dry sites.

Our Fior d’Arancio DOCG Colli Euganei Passito is a wine with broad, enveloping aromas that make it one of the jewels in the crown of Ca’ Lustra Zanovello's production of sweet wines.

Fior d’Arancio, the variety of Yellow Muscat grape grown in the Euganean Hills, maintains a strongly Mediterranean, sunny and vigorous character. After drying, the bunches of Yellow Muscat grapes produce a full and elegant sweet Moscato.

Among our sweet wines, Nero Musqué is the most curious, an intense and precious example of a sweet red wine: a rare ampelographic jewel that links our Euganean Hills to the Sicilian lands.

The desire to experiment led us to Sicily, where we found the ideal place to cultivate Moscato Nero, from which Nero Musqué is now made. A concentrate of aromas and flavours reminiscent of the aromatic plants of the coastal scrubland.

The 2017 vintage was droughty with peaks of heat in the summer. In some ways similar to 2015, so we played it early. Given the discrepancy between technological and phenolic ripening, we harvested some of the grapes early to maintain good acidity. Light macerations allowed us not to extract too many green notes. These first fermentations served as a powerful pied de cuve for the grapes harvested later at optimal phenolic maturity: as a result, we obtained wines with great personality, deep, full-bodied, balanced and persistent.

Deep straw yellow with golden reflections. On the nose, notes of candied citrus, aromatic herbs and a subtle balsamic hint emerge. The palate is fresh, savory and beautifully balanced, with a good persistence that recalls hints of rosemary and ripe fruit. Pleasantly savory.

Brilliant golden yellow. On the nose, notes of sweet flowers, citrus, ripe yellow fruit and herbal hints of sage and helichrysum. The palate is smooth, rich and enveloping, with a perfect balance of freshness and softness, finishing with a long, savory and balsamic aftertaste.

2019 was a memorable vintage for the freshness and depth of the wines obtained. A particularly rainy month of July and an entire summer characterised by cool nights and sporadic thunderstorms allowed us to harvest grapes with great aromatic richness, with acidity that was still lively even when fully ripe. Qualities that are especially appreciable in the white grapes grown at the highest altitude, on Monte Venda.

Rosé with coppery reflections. Sweet aromas of crisp red fruits, followed by hints of dried flowers and leaves, slightly spicy and intense on the nose. On the palate, it is full and savory, with a light tannic structure that adds depth and a pleasantly dry finish.

The 2016 vintage was one of the most beautiful and balanced of the last decade. The rainy spring slightly thinned out the blossoming grapes and ensured excellent water supply to the growing vines. This was followed by a hot and dry summer with very little precipitation. This allowed us to obtain healthy and concentrated grapes, quite similar to what was seen in 2013. In the same way, both white and red grapes produced extraordinary results.

Intense ruby red. On the nose, aromas of red fruit jam, underbrush, rhubarb, ink and sweet spices stand out. The palate is enveloping and velvety, with mature tannins and great depth of flavor. Long finish, with hints of leather, tobacco and licorice.

The 2015 vintage severely tested the vineyards due to a very hot and dry summer in both Arquà Petrarca and Faedo. Among the difficulties was the discrepancy between grape ripening values: technological ripening (accumulation of sugars) occurred earlier than phenolic ripening (concentration of anthocyanins, tannins, polyphenols). This resulted in an early harvest, which gave the wines herbaceous nuances while maintaining beautiful fruit, more evident tannins and high alcohol content. A few edges, for wines that need a few more years to express themselves at their best.

Dense, impenetrable ruby red. Aromas of underbrush, slightly earthy. Sweet, ripe red fruits, spicy notes, cocoa and tobacco. On the palate, it is structured and enveloping, with striking, well-integrated tannins. Long tasting persistence, revealing balsamic hints and bitter cocoa.

An indigenous white grape variety that was widely cultivated in the Faedo Valley during the last century. In the early 2000s, it was "rediscovered" in the Euganean Hills along with other lesser-known native grapes, thanks to a project led by Severina Cancellier (Experimental Institute for Viticulture in Conegliano). Anyway, some old vineyards of this variety still exist today. Due to its acidity, it is well-suited for sparkling and semi-sparkling wines. Slightly aromatic on the nose, it is a late-ripening variety that demonstrates excellent drought resistance—an increasingly valuable trait in these times of significant climate change.

Very pale straw yellow, slightly hazy, with Mediterranean notes of aromatic herbs, floral hints and crisp white fruit. The palate is fresh, slightly tart, clean and dry.

Over the centuries, the Euganean Hills have witnessed alternating cycles of cultivation and abandonment of this white grape variety, until a project to recover ancient varieties was launched in the early 2000s. This is a grape we are working on with an in-depth approach, also with an eye to the future, due to the balance it maintains in the hottest and driest vintages. Its pronounced acidity, late ripening and delicate aromas allow us to produce fresh, light and savory wines even under conditions that are challenging for other varieties. We are experimenting with its cultivation on different soils and microclimates, resulting in diverse expressions. While grapes from higher-altitude vineyards are well-suited for bottle refermentation, in warmer areas and scorching vintages we prefer to produce still white wines. This is precisely the case with PIF0122.

Bright, clear straw yellow. On the nose, notes of aromatic herbs, candied fruit, preserved lemon and sea salt. The palate is savory, citrusy and persistent, inviting another sip.

On the slopes of Monte Venda, a small vineyard well-exposed to the winds nurtures old vines on volcanic soil. From it, we have obtained a limited yet distinctive production, the result of an early harvest that favoured acidity and floral, herbal and balsamic aromas over the typical fruity notes. Aged for about a year in large oak casks.

Bright straw yellow with subtle golden reflections. The nose reveals aromatic herbs—sage, marjoram and helichrysum. The finish brings warm notes of stewed fruit, stone and rock dust. On the palate, the sapidity stands out with agility and delicacy, leaving a lingering depth and persistence.

Contributing to the balance of this wine are two vineyards of different ages, both on deep, volcanic soil with ample water supply. In this excellent vintage, the fully ripe grapes have given us a structured white wine with high alcohol content and low acidity. After 11 days of maceration on the skins, a long resting period in oak barrels allowed the wine to find harmony and softness.

Golden yellow, clear and consistent in the glass. Notes of magnolia and calycanthus flowers, ripe yellow fruit, preserved peaches, aromatic herbs and eucalyptus honey, with a spicy and slightly smoky touch. Dry, warm, soft and rich. Soft on the finish, with great persistence.

A completely different result from the same vineyard of TOC0221. The 2022 vintage was extremely dry, leading to significant concentration in the grapes. To preserve freshness and lightness, we chose to harvest early and add a small percentage of a less alcoholic variety. After a short contact with the skins, the wine was aged in steel, resulting in a more sleek and graceful profile on the palate.

Pale yellow with golden reflections, slightly cloudy, fairly consistent in the glass. On the nose, it evokes notes of golden drops, lemon balm, alfalfa, mango, linden flowers and sage. Pleasantly fresh, savory and soft, rich on the palate even after the sip. Persistent.

At Podere Aganoor in Arquà Petrarca, we cultivate Bordeaux grape varieties destined for our most prestigious reserves. By vinifying the different plots separately, even if they come from the same area, we can treat the grapes according to their potential, enhancing the characteristics of each and fostering the final balance. In 2020 we chose to highlight the savory component of the oldest vineyard, avoiding excessive extraction during vinification and opting for a shorter wood aging process. The result is a wine that is enjoyable even in its youth, with a pleasant fruity profile.

Dense and vibrant ruby red. Forest balsamic and fresh resin notes, ripe and crunchy red fruits. Light spicy hints. On the palate, it is juicy and enveloping, with a smooth tannin structure and a long, persistent aftertaste.

From our lands in Sicily, in 2018 we produced a dry red wine with an unusual character. A portion of the grapes was harvested early, with a sugar concentration that allowed for complete fermentation, fully converting the sugars into alcohol. The result is a surprising and intriguing wine: intensely aromatic, with a high alcohol content and pleasant freshness.

Medium-transparent ruby red, with smoky and fruity notes and hints of red fruits in spirits. Clean, fresh, dry palate with low tannins.
