History
San Zeno is named for the medieval Basilica di San Zeno in Verona, which historically maintained close ties to Soave viticulture. Fasoli Gino's organic Recioto is distinguished from conventional versions by the absence of systemic treatments during the appassimento period, resulting in a purer expression of Garganega's natural sweetness.
- 2005 — Fasoli Gino releases San Zeno Recioto as a certified organic Recioto di Soave DOCG.
