A landscape that becomes part of the wine<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

We believe a wine should be able to tell the story of where it comes from<\/strong>.That is why our work begins with close observation and an understanding of the land<\/strong> where the vines grow. We aim to bring out what each vintage and vineyard has to offer, intervening as little as possible.<\/pee> Our aim is to carry the character of the place through to the bottle<\/strong>.<\/pee> <\/div>\n

The soil<\/pee> <\/p>\n

The ponca soils of the Colli Orientali del Friuli<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

One of the defining features of this area lies beneath our feet.The soils here contain layers of marl and sandstone<\/strong>, known locally as ponca<\/strong>, a hallmark of the Colli Orientali del Friuli.<\/pee> This soil is closely tied to winegrowing on these hills and helps give the wines made here their personality.<\/pee> <\/div>\n

Between the Julian Alps and the Adriatic Sea<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The area’s distinctive microclimate also shapes its character.Air currents from the Julian Alps<\/strong> meet milder breezes from the Adriatic Sea<\/strong>, creating favourable conditions for growing grapes.<\/pee> The temperature shifts<\/strong> between day and night help the grapes ripen<\/strong>, preserving their aromas, freshness and structure.<\/pee> <\/div>\n

Our work in the vineyard<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Through organic winegrowing<\/strong>, we keep intervention to a minimum, protect the life of the soil and tend the vines with care throughout the growing cycle.<\/pee> Each harvest is the result of work that began many months earlier. It takes observation<\/strong>, patience<\/strong> and daily decisions<\/strong> to bring out the best in our grapes.<\/pee> <\/div>\n
