Dal Zotto brothers buy the family winery

Brothers Christian (left) and Michael have purchased the family’s Dal Zotto Wines from their parents marking the first change of hands the winery has seen since the first vines were planted over 30 years ago.
The Dal Zottos are the pioneers of prosecco in Australia. They were the first to commercially plant prosecco varieties in 1993, beginning with cuttings from  the Italian town of Valdobbiadene – a cool climate, wine-producing village near the Veneto region and the spiritual  home of prosecco. Their first commercial release was 1999.
They now grow prosecco vines on seven separate sites across the King Valley. And they have big plans.  In 2017, prosecco production accounted for 50% of the Dal Zotto business with 40,000 cases distributed across Australia. There are plans to increase production by 30% in 2018, and 15% each year after that.
I am never without their L’Immigrante prosecco in my cellar. What a great substitute for champagne!
