STORIE DI VINI E VITICOLTORI

Ribolla Gialla

Sacrisassi Bianco 2018, Le Due Terre

by

In that strip of land enclosed by the DOC Colli Orientali del Friuli, just one kilometre south of Prepotto and five kilometers east of the border with Slovenia, stands the winery Le Due Terre. This is a reality born, in 1984, from the common vision of Flavio Basilicata and his wife Silvana Forte who, after years of work at other wineries in the area, decided to rent the first two hectares of land and devote themselves to the production of their wines.

San Serf Bianco 2012, Castello di Spessa

by

If we wanted to reconstruct the history of the castle of Spessa, we can go back to the time of the first Roman settlements that, in fact in Spessa (20 kilometers southeast of Udine), had built a watch tower, to protect the military contingents housed, abd a furnace for their livelihood. To get to the construction of the castle itself, however, it is necessary to move to the thirteenth century (at the hands of the Ungrispach family), while the first documents that attest to the production of wine on site, a receipt of a consignment of Ribolla Gialla, are from 1559.

by

Since 1988, in Collio Goriziano, land marked by a fratricidal war during the Second World War, there is the winery of Damijan Podversic, with its vineyards, located on the top of Monte Calvario, protected by a thick bush. Damijan’s vocation for viticulture was inherited by his grandfather, who cultivated lands not owned by selling wine for a handful of air, and by his father, from whom he inherited just half a hectare.

Capo Martino 2017, Jermann

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.

Vintage Tunina 2018, Jermann

by

It was written and said a lot about Silvio Jermann, and with good reason, because we are talking about a Friulian producer capable of bringing his wines to success in the world market, one of those people who, needless to say, has a prominent place among the Made in Italy wine standard-bearers.
