Friuli wines

Wines

Our wines are distinctive and full of character.

We strive to conserve the qualities of the fruit in the bottle, careful to make the right choices for each terroir. We continue to learn, applying that knowledge to identify the most suitable areas and grape varieties, interpret the analytical data and control fermentation temperatures: this is our commitment to producing wines that are a precise balance of skill and terroir. The wines express freshness and minerality: they have an unpretentious fruity taste that is defined by perfume and elegance. This is what sets us apart as winemakers.

“Quality is an abstract term. But I believe it made tangible by doing the utmost to preserve the fruit that arrives in the winery, capturing that which grows on the land for a clean and elegant expression. Inherent in quality is a responsibility to adopt the most exacting techniques to protect the wine in the most natural way possible” Saverio Di Giacomo – Oenologist
