Description
Pignolo is, like Ribolla and others, an ancient indigenous Friulian vine, a variety that had almost disappeared and is currently being re-evaluated by some wineries. The Italian oenologist Professor Dalmasso described in the 1930s such variety as 'a singular type of wine, of luxury...'.

In 1881 Anton Jermann, the founder, left the Austrian wine-growing region of Burgerland and, later, the vines of Slovenia to put down roots in Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Here he continued his winery business, and from the 1970s Silvio Jermann's combined genius and imagination took the company to undreamed-of success in wine circles, both in Italy and worldwide.
Today the Jermann estate extends over 150 hectares of which 130 hectares are vineyards and 20 hectares are given over to seed and horticultural crops. This is a company that interacts with the world every day, but its greatest attention is always reserved for the things that make a wine great. Read more
