Zanin 1895

A story of a man who went from innkeeper to distiller, Bortolo Zanin! It all began in Zugliano, a small village in the Pedemontana Veneta, a bucolic foothill area in the Vicenza province. Zanin was seeking a an alternative name to “Spirito Bianco” – White Spirit – which he was serving his guests at the tavern, and landed on Grappa Cavallina Bianca or "White Horse", named for his favourite mount.

In 1895 Bortolo Zanin decided to legitimate the distillation of his spirit. The inn was doing just fine but demand for his grappa was increasing more and more, so with the support of his family he managed both roles for many years, but eventually the passion for distillation prevailed above the innkeeping!

In the 1940s, when his son Rino Zanin decided to collaborate with his father, they took the decision to close the inn in order to dedicate themselves to the distillation and production of liqueurs. Growing product demands raised the necessity of a larger space, as the area previously dedicated to the inn was sufficient for their production needs. Later Rino decided to carry on with the expansion of the distillery and the aging process, leading the Cavallina Bianca brand to greater fame.
