Agricultural Company – a strategic winemaking asset in Friuli Venezia Giulia

The area: along the Strada Triestina, a crossroads of wine, tourism, and logistics

 

Palazzolo dello Stella is a historically well-suited agricultural area, with fertile soils, reliable water availability, and a microclimate tempered by its proximity to the sea. The Friulian Riviera is a quietly strategic territory: less overdeveloped than other areas, but with extremely solid fundamentals.

 

Position is a value multiplier:

• • direct visibility on the main road for approximately 1 km
• • a few minutes from the Latisana toll booth
• • 15 minutes from Lignano Sabbiadoro and Bibione
• • 45 minutes from Trieste airport and approximately 1 hour from Venice

This means constant tourist access , ease of direct sales, efficient logistics for export and Horeca, and a natural predisposition for structured wine tourism.

The structural strengths (the real “qualities”)

• 74 hectares in total , of which 52 hectares are vineyards, all drained and irrigated

• Broad and coherent varietal mix: Friulano, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon, Ribolla Gialla, Prosecco/Glera, native and international reds

• Complete and sized cellar : 10,182 hl capacity, concrete and steel barrels, refrigeration systems, cooperage, champenoise room

• Production already marketed: 150,000 bottles/year 10,000 hl of bulk wine

• Complete agricultural machinery, fully operational vineyard

• Three wells (irrigation, services, geothermal at 32.5°): real water and energy autonomy

• Photovoltaic (100 kWh)

• Complex real estate assets: sales point, restaurant, bar on the seaside road, 12 apartments, manor house, warehouses, offices

• 70% export , channels already active with importers and distributors

Here you don't "build" a company: you govern it .

Key numbers (order of magnitude)

• Total turnover : ~4.0 M€

or Cellar: ~ 3 M€

o Point of sale: ~€480,000

- agritourism accommodations ~€200,000

o Rent: ~€70,000

• Residual debt: ~1 M€

• • Requested lump sum value: €16 million

Numbers that tell the story of a real company, not a project on paper.

Who is it suitable for (clear buyer profile)

This property is suitable for those who:

• • already manages a structured winery and is looking for an immediate production scale in the North-East
• • is a wine or agri-food group that wants a direct presence in Friuli with already active exports
• • is an industrial investor looking for a profitable agricultural asset, real estate and brands
• • is an advanced wine tourism operator who wants to integrate wine, hospitality and catering in an area with a high seasonal flow
• • is an entrepreneurial family that seeks continuity, not experimentation

This isn't a company for those who want to "learn how to make wine." You come here to manage.

Why is it on the market now?

Operations of this type come onto the market when:

• • the business cycle has expressed its maximum operational potential
• • the context requires a leap in scale, new governance or integration
• • the property prefers to crystallize value rather than face a new investment phase

This is a typical time window for healthy companies, not those in difficulty.

What kind of operation is it?

This is primarily an integration and platform operation , with targeted relaunch options.

• • Integration : perfect for absorbing production, brands, storage capacity and already open channels
• • Platform : ideal base for developing further lines (sparkling wines, hospitality, private label, selective export)
• • Diversification : for those looking for an agricultural-industrial asset with real estate and tourist flows
• • Light, non-structural relaunch : here we optimize, not rebuild

Strategic synthesis

A farm is a complete, legible, and manageable asset. It doesn't promise miracles, but it does offer operational certainties : land, water, cellar, markets, buildings, and territory.

In a market where many companies need capital to survive, this one needs a partner to grow or consolidate . And it's a difference that matters.
