Zorzettig Vini

What Zorzettig Vini does

Zorzettig Vini (legal entity: Azienda Agricola Annalisa Zorzettig) is a privately held, family-owned Italian winery founded in 1874 and based in Cividale del Friuli in the Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The winery produces wines exclusively from grapes grown in its own vineyards on ponca (marl) soils, emphasizing indigenous Friulian varieties — Friulano, Ribolla Gialla, Picolit, Pignolo, Schioppettino — alongside international varieties. Its portfolio is organized in two lines: Tenaci, the standard range of 16 SKUs covering still whites, rosés, reds, sparkling (Optimum Brut), and passito (Verduzzo Friulano Passito), and Myò, the premium line of 9 SKUs offering elevated expressions of Sauvignon, Friulano, Malvasia, Pinot Bianco, Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, Schioppettino, Pignolo, and Picolit. Sustainability is formalized through SQNPI certification (since 2016) and a documented Biodiversity Care project with the University of Udine and ERSA.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model anchored at its winery in Spessa di Cividale, supplemented by Relais La Collina — a hospitality venue in Premariacco offering wine tourism, cellar tours, and on-site tastings. Revenue derives from two streams: physical wine sales (one-time purchases, DTC plus HORECA distribution to restaurants and wine merchants, with non-publicly-disclosed B2B pricing) and wine tourism/hospitality services. Marketing runs primarily through earned media (Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri and Gentleman editions, La Cucina Italiana, Civiltà del Bere, RaiNews, Food and Travel Italia), supported by social media (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube), a newsletter funnel, and a bilingual Italian/English website. Customer segments are horizontally spread across individual wine enthusiasts and collectors, HORECA accounts, and tourism visitors, with no named enterprise or anchor accounts disclosed.

Ownership remains entirely with the Zorzettig family under owner-winemaker Annalisa Zorzettig, who has led the estate since 2006. No institutional investors, funding rounds, parent entities, subsidiaries, or structural transactions are disclosed. The operation counts 11-50 employees and shows current operating status with no recent M&A, restructuring, or leadership turnover beyond the 2006 succession.
