The best wineries in Corno di Rosazzo.
Cadibon. A family, a land, the art of wine
"Qui di Bon" is the meaning of the name Cadibon, a synthesis that symbolizes the importance of the territory and of the family tradition in the
creation of wines that express together the power of nature and the wisdom of man.
Corno di Rosazzo and Eastern Hills of Friuli are the cradle of the Cadibon wines. White and red wines with a strong temperament treated with great passion and attention to the environment by Luca Bon, a young but already experienced vinegrower and, together, sophisticated and meticulous winemaker. The tradition of hospitality of local people is confirmed by the new winery, designed to offer maximum functionality for the processing of grapes and aging, but also to welcome visitors and lovers for a wine tasting and a tasting of locally sourced products.
The Cadibon label identifies the best of the company production. This selection is flanked by a white wine and a Merlot signed "L’Osteria", two products that bear the same name of the homonimous venue of San Giovanni al Natisone, personally coordinated by Ameris Bon, who divides his attentions among guests and the typical recipes of his cuisine.
The seat of the Cadibon farm has always been in Casali Gallo resort, in Corno di Rosazzo, in one of the most evocative corners of Friuli Venezia Giulia, the heart of the production of some of the best white wines in the world.
A succession of forests, vineyards, scattered farmhouses, some ancient villa and a severe abbey–fortress which is an environmental paradise and a wildlife island.
Characteristic of the territory, from the agricultural point of view, the so–called "ponca", the terrain consisting of thick deposits of calcareous clay and marl, very precious because of the quality of the grapes that you can grow. The country where the company is located is identified also by the River Corno, a tributary of the Judrio, a river in which it flows after a journey of 24 km that begins at the foot of Mount Plagnava.
In addition to the production of wines, the area is famous for a wonderful culinary tradition, the main symbol of which is certainly the famous San Daniele ham. Corno di Rosazzo is surrounded by destinations of great historical and cultural value. Among these, Cividale and Aquileia, a Unesco heritage resort, Villa Manin in Codroipo, Udine, Trieste and, at about 100 km, Venice. Besides the nearby border, Slovenia offers interesting natural and tourism beauties, too.
"In addition to working in the vineyard, for the quality of our wines we focus on other choices and key moments: the harvest, the evaluation of the perfect maturity for each variety, fast transport of the grapes to the winery. We decide to pick each grape variety after several days of continuous steps of tasting and observation of grapes.
The harvest is made by hand, the transport with small carts speeds the arrival in the wine cellar".
"From the moment in which the first cluster is taken from the vine, the concentration of labor becomes more and more intense and engaging, to the point of staying in the wine cellar until late at night to control fermentation, to maintain temperatures, to verify every detail".
"The key moments that determine the best features of our products are enclosed in two months, after which our wine is aged only in perfect conditions, a phase that will develop in containers made of steel or wooden barrels".
Le Due Torri Farm of Corno di Rosazzo (Udine) is surrounded by greenery, encased to the north by the hills of Collio and, to the south, by the river Judrio, that laps its borders. The 7.8 hectares of vineyard, located on the banks of the river Torre, are characterized by mostly gravelly soils that give the typical characteristics of DOC and IGT wines of the area called "Grave del Friuli".
With passion and dedication, the Volpe family, for years present in the wine industry, has always cared scrupulously their product. The main objective, even today, is quality rather than quantity. Protecting the environment, complying with the rules governing the wine production, capitalizing on the experience without forgetting traditions: those are the basic steps that this company fulfills on a daily basis, to obtain a product of excellence.
Today, experience and the technique are not enough to produce good wine, with qualitative purposes innovation is not enough unless it is accompanied by passion for the land and for work. Since 1990 Antonino Volpe took the reins of the company taking over to his father Salvatore and his mother Dina who, for many years, had taken care of the vineyard, the winery and the farm.
Pride of the Le Due Torri products is Tazzelenghe, a native Friulian red grape variety, almost forgotten for many years, but returned to prominence thanks to some vinegrowers who, with courage, wanted to propose it on the market again. Tazzelenghe, from Friulian "cut–tongue" for its high tannin content, is a product with a strong personality, which amazes with its decided bouquet, thanks to aging in oak barrels. Definitely, a wine that you love or hate, and leaves no room for half–sensations. Wonderful pairing with red meats, game and all those strong flavors that require a full–bodied, decided wine! But the offer by Antonino is not limited to Tazzelenghe. In the company we find Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, a native vine of Friuli, too, like Schioppettino, which along with the most classic Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Nero, complete the range of red varieties. At Le Due Torri there also white varieties like Friulano, Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia, Verduzzo Friulano, and the classic Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon, winner, the latter, of important national awards.
In the 18 hectares of vineyards which, in Pra di Corte, mark the boundaries companys, the daily work is an effort, but at the same time a pleasure. Because making wine in a land with a high vocation to viticulture like Corno di Rosazzo is not everyone’s cup; but the beautiful result of a constant commitment, which from the vineyard, with the harvest, arrives at the winery. Without ever losing sight of the dictates handed down by the family tradition, first of all the harmony and the overall mood.
The Perusini company is among the 50 “happy few” registered by Veronelli in the Gotha of the historical Italian winemakers. In effect, in the latest century, when the fashion of French wines was still prevailing, Giacomo Perusini, grandfather of the current owner, began the selection and preservation of some indigenous grapes (especially Piccolit).
After his untimely death in World War I, his work was continued by his wife Giuseppina Perusini Antonini, painter, writer, but also skilled businesswoman, who begans the revival of regional wines in the domestic and international market. Her son Gaetano, professor at the University of Trieste, continued and expanded research on agriculture and traditional varieties, while the other son Giampaolo went on in particular with the selection of Ribolla Gialla.
Now the castle of Rocca Bernarda, historic home of the family, has passed by bequest of Gaetano Perusini to the Order of Malta together with part of the company, but the family tradition continues in the remaining part on the hill of Gramogliano lapped by the river Judrio until 1918, the border between Italy and the Austro–Hungarian monarchy.
The company now is run by Teresa, daughter of Giampaolo. Like her uncle and her sister, art historian but also passionate winegrower. In the company management, today, she is helped by her husband and sons Carlo, Tommaso and Michele. So, the family tradition continues on the hill of Gramogliano known for centuries, as the one of Rosazzo and the Rocca, as the cru hors class of the eastern hills of Friuli.
On the label of my bottles you can see, new, in the complex and important Friulian winemaking reality, the figure of the Canus: the senex with gray hair and deep wisdom. He inspired me, placing myself under the wing of a regional tradition that identifies my family with the nickname of Grisn (white haired). This feeling of belonging to the land where the vineyard is located, has pushed my entrepreneurial spirit to confront with a past that is famous for the quality of the product. Thus, among the sweet thinning out of the eastern hills of Friuli, wetted by the waters of the river Judrio, which marks the border with the equally generous lands of Collio, my grapes produce wines of the most genuine tradition. From the vineyards that in the late summer of 2004 celebrated our first vintage, aware of the safety of the steps taken, I look, like the Canus, away; with the right pride of the founder.
The villa of the Counts Zucco di Cuccanea, the current seat of the company, is an example of a fortified settlement of the sixteenth century. The tower that overlooks the city walls to the west was built for defense purposes, and later became a point of sight and control of the surrounding countryside: the landscape that stretches from the hills of Rosazzo and those of Ruttars and Cormons is wonderful.
Leaving the villa and walking through an old vineyard of Ribolla Gialla, you arrive at the nearby winery of production, where the thousand–year old farming tradition is combined with modern winemaking.
The gradual and steady qualitative growth of the company has been achieved through the interplay of various factors, such as the care of the vineyards, the harvest by hand (even in the plateau) and the important technological innovations adopted. The best grapes are brought into a fruttaia (fruit chamber), an environment where low temperature and ventilation favor the development of an extraordinary polyphony of scents, giving the wines flavor, combined with a remarkable structure and elegance of taste. These processes have resulted in white wines such as the Collio Bianco Broy, award–winning. The other strand of innovation regards sparkling wines and in particular the development of what is now called the "Collavini Method": 42 months, from the harvest to the flute, for a sparkling wine considered a true excellence in Friuli: Ribolla Gialla Brut.
The Fedele Luca Farm is located in Friuli Venezia Giulia and more precisely in the territory of the Municipality of Corno di Rosazzo in the province of Udine. The Fedele Luca Winery is a small family-run business, where quality wines are produced with the most natural methods possible. In the vineyard we try to respect the ecosystem both in the soil and on the plants. We do not use weeding and natural products are used for fertilization. In the cellar, fermentations are spontaneous in concrete for the whites and in steel for the reds. The production varies from whites (Friulano, Istrian Malvasia, Pinot Grigio) to reds (Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Franconia). In addition, the company produces a rosé derived from the white vinification of Merlot grapes. In the typical Friulian point of sale (frasca) you can taste their wines which are sold both in bulk and bottled.
The company is part of the group of the Aleandri Estates, a family operating in Veneto that has always been able to take advantage of the potential of the territory of the Collio area.
The company was founded in 2007, but the Gigante family has been renowned in the area for grape growing and wine production. The company’s results are excellent, as demonstrated by the 2006 vintage of Refosco and Sauvignon 2008.
In 1957, after the purchase of the house and the vineyard in the hills of Rocca Bernarda, the production of the wine of this winery began: the first was Tocai "the white of the Friulians", the one for all occasions. After that, in the early 1960s the company was transferred from the small hamlet of Vencò to Corno di Rosazzo, the current headquarters of the farm. From the eighties, the company passed into the hands of Adriano who decided to start the production of the first bottles with the peacock to act as a brand on the label, soon becoming a representative and recognized icon of the goodness of this company wine. Today the business is conducted in total and winning synergy by Adriano and his wife Giuliana, assisted by his cousin Ariedo who takes care of the oenological part.
The place where the Visintini company stands has a history dating back to the Middle Ages 1290. It is located on the hills of Corno di Rosazzo south of the Colli Friuli Colli Orientali DOC area on the border with the Collio DOC and delimiting the provinces of Udine and Gorizia . The various vicissitudes led to the purchase, by Domenico Visintini, in 1884 of the Castle of Gramogliano, an imposing feudal construction that extended with a keep and towers in a very large area and which over the centuries was destroyed and rebuilt several times . In 1915, the Castle passed by succession to two of his sons: Umberto, who became the legitimate owner of the Castle and started the agricultural activity. In 1973, Umberto thought that the time had come to pass the reins to his son Andrea, who from then on would have given impetus and enhanced the wine tradition more and more. In 2001, the company passed into the hands of the sons Oliviero, Cinzia and Palmira, thus continuing the business started many years earlier by their father Andrea. This company is framed by an enchanting landscape on the hills behind Corno di Rosazzo and is characterized by the suggestive medieval building in which the company is based, made even more fascinating by the last reconstruction, which took place after the 1976 earthquake. its activity on 30 hectares located for the most part in the DOC Friuli Colli Orientali area. “We feel compelled to respect traditions and value the past while looking to the future. This is why we are not satisfied with the success achieved so far, but we invest in the quality of our wines and our estate. "
