This story began in 2002 thanks to Veronese engineer Fiorenzo Chesini and the San Zeno Foundation, that invested major resources in a valorisation project favouring local producers and the wine-growing patrimony in the Dodoma region in a high plateau 1100-1200 above sea level in the heart of the country.
These funds made it possible to set up avant-garde cellars by importing the best Italian know-how. Cetawico (Central Tanzania Wine Company) – the local cooperative set up thanks to this project – is now entirely self-sufficient; the last investment involved the purchase of yeasts for controlled fermentation over a capacity of 800 hl.
