PREPOTTO
for six generations
Winemakers since 1808 in
the Colli Orientali del Friuli
Our wines are born in Prepotto, in the Colli Orientali del Friuli (Eastern Hills of Friuli), from strong values such as land and family, as well as a region with a history and tradition of vine cultivation. It has been this way for generations: since 1808, we have dedicated ourselves with unwavering enthusiasm to the art of vine and wine.
LAND
Our lands are made of sandstone and marl: the “ponca”, generous mother of our grapes
MICROCLIMATE
From the sea, gentle winds that lighten the climate flow to these hills well exposed to the sun.
TRAINING SYSTEMS
Our primary training system is double inverted guyot, limiting the yield per hectare and improving the quality of the grapes
VARIETIES
If Friuli is mainly a land of white wines, Prepotto is the territory of striking red ones.
VINIFICATION
The white wines mostly vinify in steel. The reds, almost all of them, are aged 24-36 months in barrique.
CHARACTERISTICS
We promote a style that makes the most of terroir: fresh, aromatic white wines and soft but impactful red ones
Eight hectares of vineyards
in Prepotto, favoured by a unique microclimate
Our vineyards extend in the territory of Prepotto, on the hills surrounding the valley of the Judrio river: the vines (often from ancient plantings) are supported by minerals-rich soils comprised primarily of clayey-calcareous marls of Eocene origin. The climate is very favourable: it is moderated by the Adriatic winds, and in late summer, when the harvest is nearing, temperature changes favour the aromatic structure of wines, to which they add a particular spiciness.
Wine is made in
the vineyard and achieves excellence in the cellar
The quality and pleasantness of the wine depend on the quality of the grapes, and the latter is achieved with vine training systems that preserve their historicity and integrity, preferring natural grassing of the rows and minimizing treatments. The rest of the work is done in the cellar, following tradition and the characteristics dictated by the Colli Orientali del Friuli area, typical of each varietal.
International and native Friulian
classics
We have always enjoyed trying our hand and giving our best with the grape varieties of the great international tradition, both whites and reds, but our heart belongs entirely to the distinctive varieties of our Friuli: Friulano, Schioppettino di Prepotto, Refosco, Pignolo... And, speaking of “heart” reds, our Biel Cûr, a blend obtained from Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, Schioppettino and Pignolo, is the true embodiment of our great passion and the land that feeds it.
