Strategic asset for sale - Winery with agritourism to be renovated in the province of Gorizia!

We are in Gradisca d'Isonzo, in one of the most strategic wine-growing corridors of Northeastern Europe, between the Collio, Isonzo, Slovenia, and the Central European axis. A region where wine thrives not only on agriculture, but also on logistics, exports, and a historic reputation. Here, terroir is the starting point, not the end point.

A territory that multiplies value, not just tells it

Eastern Friuli is one of the very few Italian territories where unique structural conditions overlap:
deep river soils of the Isonzo, a mild continental climate, a natural vocation for high-end white wines, and immediate proximity to Central European markets.

This generates a real, measurable competitive advantage:
more stable agronomic costs, consistent quality over time, extremely high varietal recognition and ease of positioning on foreign markets.
It is not a territory that “hopes” for exports: it naturally needs them.

Gradisca is also central to wine, slow tourism, cycle paths, the cultural border, and Central European travel. Wine tourism here isn't just folklore. It's a natural extension of the export business, consistent with its premium positioning.

A rare agricultural-industrial asset for its compactness and efficiency

The first real strength of this estate is structural: the entire supply chain is concentrated in a single compact corporate body.

Thirty-five hectares in a single flat block, 31.5 hectares of which are planted with vines adjacent to the winery. Perfect internal logistics, extremely efficient farm management, and well-controlled schedules and costs. A model that is increasingly rare to find on the market today.

But the decisive element is another: the gap between current and potential production is enormous.

Today the company sells around 60,000 bottles, of which 9,000 are high-end, and supplies around 200 quintals of grapes.
At full capacity, with existing facilities and without any new agricultural or building expansion, it can produce up to 300,000 bottles per year.

This means something very clear for an investor: value isn't created by planting new vineyards or building new wineries, but by saturating existing capacity. Clean, rapid industrial growth with limited risk. Very few assets today allow this type of development.

A brand already built (and validated) in the United States

Many wineries sell an export project. Exports are a well-established reality here.

The brand is already well-known in the United States, with long-standing active channels, international recognition, and scores above 90 from Parker and Wine Spectator. Pignolo is recognized as one of the best in the world, a distinctive element that strengthens its identity and positioning.

This drastically reduces commercial risk, shortens growth times, and lowers the cost of entering premium markets. For a structured group or an international operator, it represents an immediate strategic accelerator.

Who is this operation really suitable for?

This isn't a "one-size-fits-all" company. It's an asset designed for specific profiles.

It is ideal for medium-large winemaking groups seeking a production base in premium Friuli, a brand already established in the USA, and immediately available production capacity that can be integrated with an existing export network.

It's perfect for international importers or distributors who want to integrate production upstream, control quality and margins, and build a proprietary European brand. An almost textbook example of vertical integration.

It's consistent with established entrepreneurial families seeking a healthy, debt-free company with stable revenue, significant real estate assets, and predictable growth over time. A real, non-speculative asset.

It's attractive to platform-oriented investors capable of developing a hub for premium Friulian white wines, integrating hospitality into the farmhouse, and creating value through tourism, clubs, and relationships.

It's not suitable for artisanal micro-producers, operators without a commercial structure, or purely passive financial projects. This requires industrial and commercial governance, not hobbyist management.

Why is it on the market now?

This sale is not the result of a crisis, but of a transition in scale.

The story is linear and virtuous: a noble foundation, a managerial relaunch in the 1990s, the building of an international brand, and today a healthy company, debt-free and with stable revenue.

Today, however, a clear limitation emerges: production and capital capacity exceed the scale of current management. To truly exploit the potential of the 300,000 bottles, enhance the 1,300 square meter farmhouse, and boost its US positioning, capital, a broader sales structure, and a managerial organization are needed.

It's exactly the right time for a new player to enter.

What kind of operation is it?

This is a platform operation with selective integration and relaunch.

A production platform already built, with 31.5 hectares of compact vineyards, a fully equipped modern cellar, a 4,050 hectoliter capacity and systems ready to support volumes triple the current ones.

A natural commercial integration, especially for those already operating in US exports or European distribution, with immediate increased margins and direct control of the supply chain.

A tangible wine tourism and real estate revitalization, thanks to the 1,300 sq m historic farmhouse, perfectly positioned to develop a hospitality business, wine resort, residence, or clubhouse, strengthening the brand and diversifying revenues.

Strategic synthesis

This asset is rare because it combines a solid history, a highly suitable Friulian terroir, compact vineyards adjacent to the winery, a brand already established in the United States, international recognition, enormous unused production capacity, a debt-free company, stable revenue, and a real estate lever ready to be activated.

It doesn't promise miracles.
It offers something much more valuable: a ready-made industrial platform, with low risk and extremely high upside.

And this is exactly what serious buyers are looking for today in the North-East wine sector.
