Description
This very important grape variety from Burgundy, derived from a mutation of Pinot Noir, was introduced into Friuli Venezia Giulia in the early 1800s, as an analysis of the Ruländer – Pineau gris dates it back to 1847. At the Austrian Oenological Congress, held in Gorizia, its diffusion was recommended “wherever the aim is to produce fine white wines of the highest order” and in 1896 it was found, together with Pinot Blanc, among the common grapes imported into Friuli. It prefers cool environments and has found its natural habitat in the northernmost hills of the Friuli Colli Orientali DOC area. It is certainly the most renowned Friulian wine in the world, as it has been enjoying considerable success for a long time.

The company is in the heart of the Doc of the Colli Orientali of Friuli, in Cividale del Friuli - Unesco Natural Heritage from 2011 - the most fresh area of ??this famous terroir especially dedicated to the production of white wines. These hills are located in the northeast part of the province of Udine, continuing north towards the Carnic Alps. Mediterranean and continental climates ensure constant ventilation with sensitive thermal excursions that affect and enhance the varietal aromas of vines.
Nature has created a magic in this area of ??Friuli, creating marvelous hilly terrains where vineyards are subject to many microclimatic variables resulting from an unlimited union between the breezes of the Adriatic Sea and the fresh winds of the East. The vineyards - about 100 hectares - are scattered in different areas, they are of variable age and bred with guyot or with the classic "double upside down".
