2025 edition
Zenato Academy
At the 2025 edition, we proudly supported Zenato Academy | Photography, wine and visual culture, a cultural initiative founded by the Zenato family in Peschiera del Garda, Italy.
The Academy connects wine, art, and visual storytelling through photography, engaging young international artists via residencies, exhibitions, and collaborations. Each year, selected students work with Zenato to create original projects that interpret wine culture from fresh artistic perspectives, fostering cultural exchange, creative growth, and a shared vision of creativity and heritage.
2025 edition
Life in Rosé
The 2025 edition also supported Life in Rosé, a social initiative launched in 2018 by Bosco del Merlo.
The project combines wine with community impact by promoting breast cancer prevention, healthy lifestyles, and awareness, supporting LILT through donations from the sales of Prosecco Rosé DOC and Pinot Grigio Rosé DOC. It also supports wellness events, sports activities, and public campaigns focused on early detection, healthy living, and solidarity with women and families affected by cancer.
