The best wineries in Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
The Blason farm covers an area of 45 hectares, of which 16 are planted with vineyards and high–density planting, in 4 plots of land called: Bruna, La Comugna, Corona and Freifeld. The company,
in its cultural system, seeks to follow the principles of environmental sustainablity, investing a third of its agricultural area in forest crops. Today, the company has provided us with means and great potential, but the rural roots remain, as well as the flavor of tradition, the contact with nature and the pleasure to smell the scents of the land. With its family and its collaborators, the Blason company offers its customers a quality product with respect for nature and its principles.
The Valpanera farm, with the welcome support of regional Friulan Authorities is responsible for the development of agriculture, has decided to invest its resources for the production and enhancement of Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso. This ancient vine, native to Friuli Venezia Giulia, found in our lands the ideal climate and environment for its development.
From its grape an excellent wine is produced, that, like no one else in the world, can boast a thousand–year old natural selection. As a factor of continuity for a wine that boasts such testimonies of prestige and healthiness, we are committed, in the country, in the production of grapes with as less as possible environmental impact, with mostly organic methods, in the winery with the most sophisticated and advanced equipment that allow us the most genuine production of wine in accordance with the ancient traditions of Friuli.
The idea to start the production of high quality wines was of Renzo Bassani, my father, to which I owe the merit of having left to me this small but precious jewel that is Isola Augusta.
The climate, mitigated by the proximity of the sea, together with the nature of the soils, has made possible, in this belt of the Friulian Coast, the fulfillment of the idea: to obtain a range of wines and sparkling wines highly selected and limited in quantity on purpose, flanked by the production of honey and of olive oil.
The Isola Augusta estate was founded many centuries ago but became property of my family in the 50s.
I am proud to present this modern and at the same time ancient company, that expresses the values of pure tradition.
Not far from the small town of Roman origin Aquileia and from Palmanova, a historic fortified town founded in the VI century by the Venetians, the municipality of Pocenia is located. In this area in the province of Udine, near the Friulian Coast, the cultivation of vines finds its ideal soil, so much that it is the production area of the excellent Friuli Latisana DOC wines.
It is exactly here where the Anselmi Giuseppe e Luigi wine company is located, founded in 1928 by grandparents Anselmi who handed down to their children and grandchildren their experience, cultivating the land with a great sense of belonging.
Who I am: my name is Alessandro Job, I am 29 years old and I love dreaming and telling life and my emotion through wine. This is who I am, in my pure essence, without frills.
Why wine?
Because some things are difficult to explain with only words, I need a pass key.
The emotion that wine transmits to me and that I try to spread with every single bottle is somethig very intimate, unique, personal, not at all commercial or bound to market rules, but strongly linked to the Land.
I want to try to change the language of wine and of its emotions. I want to make it more accessible. A real means of communication among people.
This is the reason why 4 years ago, starting from a tradition carried out since 1985 by my grandfather, I wanted to change philosophy. Neglecting quantity, I just try to make people become passionate and fall in love with wine and its potentials. To make people spontaneous, unique and free. At least for a moment.
I seem to be a dreamer but my age allows me to do it and challenges help me grow and understand what I need to improve to fulfill my dream.
Our company is situated in the ancient Castle of Cosa, of which there are traces since the year one thousand, located a few kilometers from the small town of Spilimbergo, a well–renowed center of mosaic. This wonderful estate was built with aims of surveillance along the banks of the river Tagliamento, the biggest in the region, which divides it in two parts. Over the following centuries, it changed ownership many times. During the first world war, it became the seat of a garrison and was heavily bombed by the Austrian artillery during the retreat to the river Piave.
In 1921 it was rebuilt as an architectural structure, no longer fortress–like, but similar to a Palladian Villa. It became the property of a rich noble family from Friuli and after many vicissitudes was purchased in 1974 by Gian Franco Furlan and in 1978 became the seat of the wineries creating the CASTELCOSA brand. Today, more than the activity of wine production, the beautiful palace with its Venetian floors, large frescoes and spacious and elegant rooms, is used for exhibitions, concerts, conferences and weddings.
To accommodate customers and the many visitors who come to see us from all over the world, we have restored an old horse stable used as a guesthouse with a wide and characteristic tavern and the unmissable Fogolar, that has always been the heart of Friulian families. All surrounded by an ancient and very beautiful seventeenth century stone wall that encircles a park of centuries old trees where guests and visitors can rest and relax.
The Producers’ Winery of Codroipo has ancient origins: it was founded in 1920 as Cooperative Cocoons Dryer, to which in 1954 the distillery and in 1955 the winery were added.
From the first vintage in 1957, for about twenty years, the cooperative was engaged in the collection and drying of cocoons and in the harvesting and vinification of grapes and in the distillation of pomace.
In 1975, the disease that struck silkworms made the activity of collection of cocoons to be left, and since then all energies were devoted to the winery and wine production became the main activity.
Today, the Producers’ Winery of Codroipo is actually one of the most significant in the wine sector: it has 250 members with over 450 hectares of land planted with vines in the Friulian plain of the Friuli Grave DOC zone, between the provinces of Udine and Pordenone.
By choosing to invest since the nineties on more and more advanced machinery and equipment for winemaking, today the winery is a true point of reference in Friuli.
In 2006, it inaugurated the new seat, modern and cutting edge, which has allowed us to increase the amount of worked grapes, which reached in the latest season 45,000 quintals.
The Group of members, enthusiastic and tight–knit, are the DNA of the Producers’ Winery of Codroipo:
a cooperative that since 1920 cultivates the values of union, of solidarity and of the dream to grow and create prestige for people and their activities, and that offers quality wines and spirits that gather and talk about the values of traditional cultivation and respect for nature.
The winery of Azienda Vigneti Pittaro was founded by the tradition of vinegrowers who have a four centuries old story. Currently, the company covers almost 80 hectares fo vine rows, of the typical varieties of the Grave area of Friuli, for a production of 8,000 hectoliters of wine that are commercialized all over the world.
For the first time in Friuli a winery has been built with traditional materials and with the entire roof made of wood. There are more or less 3,500 square meters of covering with a building perfectly integrated with the territory, with two lateral wings that make it similar to a big plane, like an American Galaxy.
The interior is built with cutting edge techniques with barrels made of stainless steel only, wooden barrels and barriques, a cooling plant and a bottling plant.
Another winery, a few hundred meters far and surrounded by a thick park, is the seat of the aging of the classic method sparkling wine, where an average of 200,000 bottles of valuable talent, which are the honor and the pride of the Italian sparkling wine production are left to age. The white wines are Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon and Friulian Tocai. The red wines are Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso and Agresto. Two points of strength are Brut Classico Talento and Brut Classico Talento Millesimato.
White wines present themselves as fresh, fruity, elegant, without tiring palates with too marked, strong scents and aromas.
The red wines are harmonious, full–bodied, scented when Young and of full and structured taste if they are aged. If, on the one hand, many different varieties of wine exist, on the other hand we have to recognize that the cultived types present their own features that distinguish them.
In the Grave area of Friuli, as in the entire Friulian winemaking, wine bears the name of the vine from which it is produced.
Our winery is a perfect meeting point between tradition and technology, reflecting on the one hand the canons of local farming in the full respect of the surrounding nature, presenting on the other hand functionality and rationality in the internal arrangement of the premises, where the different phases of wine processing find adequate responsiveness: from the winemaking areas, to the room for the storage of wine, the bottling room, the warehouse for the finished product, the laboratory, the tasting room and the underground room for aging in small French oak barrels.
Our story began in 1963 when an estate of 200 hectares in Risano, in the Friuli Grave D.o.c., belonging to a noble Friulian family, was purchased by the brothers Luigi, Ercole and Fernando. After a drastic restoration of the estate, creating wide vineyards and orchards, in 1967 the new business core made of offices and modern wineries designed by the worldwide famous architect Gino Valle was built. In 1968 the company of Spessa di Capriva in the Collio D.o.c. area, composed of almost 30 hectares of vineyards and a vinification cellar, restored and adequately equipped, were bought. With this purchase the company ensured itself a production range in the most renowed and suited to viticulture areas in Friuli Venezia Giulia and in Italy. In 2004 the companies passed completely under the supervision of Fernando Pighin, his wife Danila and their children Roberto and Raffaela who today continue with great passion and enthusiasm the management of the family business.
The company vinifies exclusively grapes coming from vineyards of property, having in this way the total control of the quality of wines produced from the land to the bottle. The vinification cellars of Risano and Spessa are equipped with the most modern and advanced techniques nowadays available. A lot of space was given to temperature–controlled stainless steel tanks, to pneumatic presses and to cup plunging fermenters for the most appropriate vinification of red wines, before the big evolution given by the fining in barrels and barriques of mixed French and Slavonian oak. Among the lush vineyards of the companys of Risano in Grave the beautiful Venetian villa is located, surrounded by a magnificent old park used as a guesthouse for public relations. Within the seventeenth century villa, the charming historic wine cellar for the aging of red wines is located.
The company policy is strictly aimed at the maximization of the quality of the wines produced in all its assumptions.
My company has always been customer–oriented and attentive to customers’ needs. If it is true that in many respects the service is an intangible value, the attention towards it has allowed us to develop a relationship among the company, traders and customers. Training, support, monitoring, real–time solutions, are activities that my team accomplishes every day to facilitate and expedite every stage of production and trade.
Le Monde winery was founded as the wine company of Villa Giustiniani in Portobuffolè, an ancient village that was already documented in 997 as a castle and river port of the Venetian Republic and the only one whose rural houses in the land owned by the Villa is still active today.
The current Le Monde company is a winery of new generation from the technological point of view, both as regards the processing stages in the wine and that for the production of energy through the photovoltaic system covering 70% of the total need of the company. Particular attention is paid in having a sustainable approach throughout the supply chain, starting from the operations of the field.
Le Monde is a cru that is characterized by a calcareous clay soil from which we generate single–variety vines structured but at the same time refined and elegant, vinified exclusively in steel.
The production of the winery, today, is of 200,000 bottles divided into 60% of white wines and 40% of red wines, produced in the 40 hectares of vineyards owned by the Maccan family, that took over company, already historical, in 2008, transforming it into a model of reference to the production area of the Grave del Friuli, one of the most suited Italian areas for the production of quality wines.
To welcome us, we found a breeze full of perfumes of the sea. Our gazes bring us back to mind the long gone landscapes of our times, making us rediscover the roots of our family. We had arrived in Le Favole locality. Memories, awesomeness and emotions. A story, that of the Cadorin, which is full of passion for wine and for those magical lands from which everything originates. Here two brothers, Evio and Angelo, along with their wives Laura and Vilma, fulfilled their dream, between the intense scents of Bosco Bando in Carlino and the delicate fresh essence of the hill of Terra Rossa in Caneva.
In 1931, 70 passionate winemakers joined "to make wine together" and laid the foundations of what is today the Viticoltori Friulani La Delizia. The company associates about 1,000 skilled farmers who grow 1,700 hectares of vineyards and constitute the family of one of the largest wineries in Italy.
The production area of "Friuli Grave" and "Friuli Aquileia" is located in a vast plain in the center of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, in north–east Italy. In this land of clay and gravel and favorable climate, new and old vines have found the ideal conditions that the hand and the passion of men were able to exploit to the fullest.
"Raising" the vine and making wine here, is a unique art that involved our people.
Our passion for the vine has a long history. The "Casarsa Method", known everywhere, was produced by local growers and allows, with a particular system of "pruning", a greater exposure of the grapes to the sun.
After a first selection in the vineyard, the grapes begin the stages of processing in the winery located in the area of production, the wine is mature and refined under the watchful eye of the winemakers.
The sales staff of the company, supported by the experience and expertise of qualified employees who make it up, studies carefully the image of the product and oversees the distribution of wines. Particular attention is paid to transpose the problems of the industry, domestic and foreign, with the primary aim of meeting the needs of the most careful consumer.
I Magredi company is located in the heart of Friuli Venezia Giulia, in the in the area of production of wines with Controlled Designation of Origin Friuli Grave, in the province of Pordenone. The uniqueness of the area where the company is situated is given by the soil rich in pebbles carried downstream by the rivers Cellina, Meduna and Tagliamento, which have created a strip of land with its own microclimate, with its own vegetation and environment, so special to be called “Magredi”, to which our company owes its name. The symbol of this land, strong and generous at the same time, therefore, is stone, as evidenced even at the entrance of our winery.
