Our territory

Sets challenges

The hills are not always gentle and easy, and their nature is not always welcoming, but it is on these difficult slopes that the vines reach their highest potential. And great wine is the expression of a fortunate combination of elements that make up the terroir.

The soil, known as “Ponca” consists of friable layers of marl and sandstone. The vineyards sit at an altitude below 300 metres and are south-facing. The area is backed by the Julian Alps and caressed by the sea breeze of the Adriatic, which affords it a cool and rainy climate. These hills offer many premium quality indigenous varieties. And what about the winegrowers? They are determined, very practical and deeply connected to this land.

Nestled between the mountains and the sea, Friuli-Venezia Giulia is an age-old wine-growing area.

Love and care for nature

Commitment

The Colli Orientali del Friuli area stretches over hills and valleys cut by rivers and streams. Bountiful nature to be respected. Ours is a relatively small area where, over the course of time, man has learnt to interact with the surrounding environment, establishing original wine growing methods and practices, to achieve unique wines. This is a land that challenges wine growers but offers them the chance to interpret its complex terroir of outstanding potential.

Low quantity and high quality

Friuli’s wine growing heritage is passed through generations and preserved for the future.

Balanced, healthy vineyards, wisely released from wilderness by generations of winegrowers, are at the core of the distinctive quality of our wine. We favour low yields that translate into better grapes.
