Since 1960, the Verona wine company has invested in native vines to obtain white and red wines lauded by wine critics

Ninety-five hectares in the best areas of Lugana and the classic zone of Valpolicella. Two faces: one white, one red, both fine examples of quality wines that are created with passion for the territory and its history, respect for the passage of time and a family tradition that has exalted local varieties for half a century.

Today, Zenato is represented by the family, his wife Carla and his children Alberto and Nadia, who have consolidated and broadened the prestige of the project. Alberto looks after the product, from the vine to the bottle, and Nadia concentrates on developing markets and taking care of marketing and communication.

In the context of a far-ranging business reorganization, with the goal of communicating with improved clarity and of providing increased product visibility, Cantina di Soave, one of the leading wine producers in Italy and on the international stage, is changing its name. Its new name will be CADIS 1898.

CADIS 1898 is actually an acronym comprised of the initials of the historic name, accompanied by the foundation year of the group.
CADIS 1898 will be the umbrella entity for the four main wine production cellars: Cantina di Soave, Cantina di Montecchia, Cantina di Illasi, and Terre al Lago.

In the future, the markets will see the Soave-area wines as the Cantina di Soave brand, the Valpolicellas as Cantina di Illasi, the Lessini Durello wines as Cantina di Montecchia di Crosara, and finally, the Garda, Bardolino and Custoza wines as Terre al Lago.
