Alessandro Zanette is from Sacile in Friuli Venezia Giulia region, a town renowned for its pianos and rooted vine cuttings. He has had clear ideas since middle school: he would continue his studies specializing in agronomy. His passion for vine-growing and winemaking became serious business, especially when he attended the well-known Istituto G.B. Cerletti in Conegliano. After his important meeting with Christian Scrinzi, the winemaking and production manager of Gruppo Italiano Vini, Alessandro moved to work in the charming Chianti hills. In 2007, he started his work at Cantine Melini.
