Its Italian origin gives the sparkling wine a distinctive character. The interplay of Mediterranean sunshine, cooler nights, and well-ventilated vineyards produces grapes with intense fruit and pronounced freshness. The Luminoso - Zonin conveys this sense of origin in the glass: light, radiant, and full of Italian joie de vivre.

Production of Luminoso - Zonin

The grapes for Luminoso - Zonin come from selected vineyards in Italy, classified as Italian Landwein. The climate is pleasantly balanced: warm days encourage the Glera grapes to ripen, while cooler nights preserve the freshness of the acidity. The soils consist of a mixture of limestone, clay, and occasional volcanic deposits, lending the wine tension and minerality.

The Glera grapes are harvested with a focus on aromatic freshness and moderate sugar levels. They are transported quickly to the winery, where gentle pressing takes place. Only the must from the first pressing goes into this sparkling wine, ensuring a pure, fruit-driven style.

Fermentation takes place under temperature-controlled conditions in stainless-steel tanks so that the delicate citrus and apple aromas remain at the forefront. The producer then employs the proven Charmat method: the second fermentation takes place in a pressurised tank, where the fine perlage develops. This method emphasises freshness, fruit clarity, and the wine’s lightness.

A shorter period of ageing on the fine lees in tank rounds out the texture and lends a gently creamy mouthfeel without sacrificing lightness. The alcohol content is deliberately kept at 5.0% vol., making Luminoso - Zonin a particularly buoyant companion for long evenings.

The Zonin house style stands for clear, approachable sparkling wines with a modern orientation. Precise fruit, lively freshness, and finely balanced perlage form the core of its philosophy. Luminoso - Zonin clearly displays this signature: elegant, carefree, and inviting at any time.

A well-chilled bottle is best kept in a wine cooler filled with ice water beside the table, so that several glasses can be served at the perfect temperature throughout the evening.

For storage, choose a cool, dark room without major temperature fluctuations. Storing the sparkling-wine bottle horizontally keeps the cork slightly moistened, helping the contents retain their freshness.
