THE WINE

Historical company founded in 1898 in Prepotto, near the border with Slovenia. A land difficult to cultivate but rich in quality;  Edi and Maurizio, the winery owners, grow the wines with a low environmental impact. The harvest is also done manually.

The winery devoted itself to the cultivation of indigenous varieties ribolla giallo, schioppettino, friulano, but also cabernet franc and merlot. The grapes used  for this wine are 100% cabernet franc.

Follows the bottling and subsequent refinement in the bottle for 2 months.
