Presentation of the book “La Mia Gente di Vigna” by Giulio Colomba

Presentation of the book “La Mia Gente di Vigna” by Giulio Colomba, Publisher Ribis.


Giulio Colomba, founder and historic director of Slow Food, editor for Friuli Venezia Giulia of the “Vini d'Italia” Guide, describes the history of the 96 wineries of the region. The selection has followed entirely personal criteria and the areas covered include almost all DOC areas of Friuli Venezia Giulia. The preface bears the signature of a lover of good wine, a Friulian DOC: Bruno Pizzul.

To follow, a vertical tasting of Collio White of the Keber company in 4 vintages:

Collio White 2000

Collio White 2005

Collio White 2008

Collio 2012

Edi Keber has inherited from his grandfather and father the traditional farming knowledge, demonstrating intelligence and curiosity in adapting them to the new–and–old winemaker activity, with a critical eye and attention towards the environment. First among all Friulian winemakers, he has narrowed his range to a single wine – Collio White – to give greater importance to the territory rather than to the variety (giving up to the original label of Tocai, now Friulian, the most famous and sold label in the company). Recently, he has managed to convince many producers to adopt a unique bottle for the Collio wines, with a customized capsule that makes the products of the denomination easily identifiable. In short, Edi has always put the reasons of the territory in front of his own: the Territory should feel grateful. (taken from Slow Wine)
