The name comes from blending the two varietal names, Corvina-the signature red varietal of the Valpolicella region-and Merlot. In Veronese dialect, ”Cormi” means ”my heart,” a name that also reflects the Zenato family’s dedication to the Valpolicella region. It is a passion that is readily evident in the final wine.

The Zenato winery possesses a strong link to the richness of its local history and culture, and continues to develop this connection today. The estate is based in a territory that surrounds Lake Garda, with an extraordinary microclimate that allows for an optimal growing season. Cherishing a ‘frank and simple’ approach to life, Zenato is committed to producing affordable wine of exceptional quality. With a passion for the land and a dedication to vigorous research, innovation and quality improvement, Sergio Zenato strived to eclipse past results. He crafted wines that are known for their quality and consistency.
