This wine is all about elegance and finesse. In the mouth it is balanced with velvet tannins wrapped around a rich fruit core, made more tantalizing by the slight notes of pepper, cloves, dark chocolate and kirsch. The lingering aftertaste recalls the olfatory sensations.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1975
A rich landowner of noble origins, a friar and a piece of land on which to build the first monastery in the area of Farra d’Isonzo … this is how the ancient legend that gave the estate its name came into existence. A more recent story begins in 1975 with the establishment of Borgo Conventi and with the promise to produce fine and elegant wines. A commitment, reasserted in 2001 when the estate was acquired by the Folonari family, which translated into a boost in production while maintaining utmost respect for the tradition and the origins.
