Colli Orientali del Friuli

Braide Alte 2018, Livon

by

Among the protagonists of the birth and development of modern enology in Friuli-Venezia Giulia is undoubtedly the figure of Dorino Livon, a true pioneer of both Collio and Colli Orientali del Friuli.

It dates back to 1964, in fact, the first plot of vineyards purchased by Dorino, expanded progressively, to cover the current 180 hectares. In the mid-80s, the company passed from its founder to his sons Valneo and Tonino, who, today, have given way to the third generation of the family, his nephews Matteo and Francesca.

Although the name of Enzo Pontoni says relatively little to the vast majority of wine consumers, it is worth mentioning that it is the mind and arms behind Miani winery, producer, with incredible constancy, of rare and legendary wines. The story of Enzo begins around the early ’80s when he decided to leave the engineering sector, where he worked, to take care full-time of the Buttrio family winery (10 kilometers southeast of Udine), and the family vineyards, between Buttrio and Corno di Rosazzo, in the denomination Colli Orientali del Friuli.

The history of the winery I Clivi starts from far away, more precisely from West Africa, the last stage of the travels of Ferdinando Zanusso who, in the mid-90s decided to retire and buy an old vineyard in his wife’s native land: Cormons, in the heart of Collio Goriziano. Ferdinando has no wine training and, moreover, having travelled half the world for work, he does not even know how to speak the local language, but this does not prevent him from cultivating his wine dream with passion and determination.
