Description
'Fihl' is the former name of a locality north of Egna, which today is known as 'Villa'. The winery of Peter Dipoli is located in 'Villa'. The grapes for Fihl are Merlot grapes purchased in the Bassa Atesina. If the Iugum requires a qualitative change in the cuvée, a part of the Iugum base wine (Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon) is added to the Fihl before bottling. In great vintages such as 2002, the Fihl is bottled pure. Consequently, there is a reduction in the bottled quantity in these vintages.

In the following years, the estate was enlarged by buying some new vineyard and renting others. This is how the vineyard Iugum in the nearby village of Magré, became part of the property. In the beginning the grapes were vinified at a friend’s winery. A fundamental step was to buy an ancient, rural house in Villa, in the village of Egna, that in 1998 was restored and became the estate winery. Read more
