STORIE DI VINI E VITICOLTORI

Friulano

Clivi Galea 2018, I Clivi

by

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.

by

Silvio Jermann belongs to that narrow list of people able to make the difference in his work, that is to produce wines, and keep the name of Made in Italy high in the world. It is no exaggeration, in fact, to affirm that his wines have been able to make Friuli Venezia Giulia known in the world, presiding over the international markets with an incredible qualitative constancy.

Rosazzo Terre Alte 2018, Livio Felluga

by

Separating Friuli quality viticulture from the thought and work of Livio Felluga is a rather complicated theoretical exercise. Felluga, in fact, was a pioneer who 70 years ago took over the reins of the family business, which had been producing for five generations Refosco and Malvasia in Istria Island, piercing it into the Friulian hinterland.
