- Bottles produced: 80.000

Ferruccio Sgubin established his farmhouse in Dolegna del Collio, in the little hamlet of Mernico in 1960. Thanks to his family's collaboration and support, he specialized in grapevine growing.
A precise target has always moved his steps: guaranteeing the quality growth of his products. Indeed, to make all this possible, in the course of years particular efforts have been dedicated to business development, transforming the cellar into a more modern one and making the whole equipment, the working methods and maintenance standards more innovative. The foundation of the product lays in passion and the wise art of love, that is used in any applied procedure and in each gesture.
The wine yard is an oasis of happiness and serenity, from which the wine itself seems rewarded, being nourished by it. The ones who love leading a good life and know how to appreciate the sincere moments of it derive great pleasure from tasting our wine. The essence of it is generated from the marly soil of our hills, where the largest part of our vineyards are located. The breath-taking scenery and the crisp air work together to lend a wise harmony to this wine and to the spirit of its taster.
The wineyard is also environment-friendly, grateful to the landscape it originates from and very keen on the development of business management, by having adopted an innovative common heating system. The fuel feeding this system is made of the scraps deriving from working the grapevine and the surrounding land. Read more
