El Citera is a story that begins in 1927, when on a small plot of Peschiera, the Zanetti family, planted his first vineyard. Since that time, generation after generation, the love and passion for the earth will turn into tradition and respect for it.
Founded by Gino Zenato over 60 years ago, the company was born as a farm for vineshoot production, intended for viticulture. Gino from the start backed up this activity with winemaking self production, as a direct test bed for his farming activity.
In 1981 his son Valerio took over the farm management, and he enriched the production with high value wines, at once characterised by a strong personality. He therefore achieved his first awards and definitely launched the company towards quality winemaking production. His wines are distinguished by their marked minerality and structure, which are typical characteristics of this territory and they are interpreted in an elegant and refined style.
Fabio and Paolo, the third generation of winemakers, support Valerio in managing the company and continue the family tradition with the same passion and enthusiasm of their grandfather. The new cellar is a symbol of their commitment and dedication; a building that carries both tradition and innovation and was made to comply with ecosostenibility technological innovation parametres, with wide spaces reserved for whoever has a passion for wine.
The farm was founded in 1919 by Modena's family. His deep love for his homeland and nature motivated him over the years and nowadays the company has reached remarkable standards of excellence. It is now run by the whole family. The main products produced are the "Lugana Bianco" and the "IGT delle Venezie Cabernet"
