歷史 |
Steeped in history, Rocca Bernarda has long been a point of reference in Friulan enology. One of the first wine estates dating back to 1559 when agronomical practices were confined only to the finest territories. Considered one of the most exemplary estates in Friuli, “Rocca Bernarda”, from which it takes its name, has a unique microclimate with spectacular terraced vineyards protected by the Julian Alps. The soil, “ponca”, formed more than 40 million years ago is a mixture of sand stone and marl and yields complex wines, reflecting the region’s character in its unmistakable minerality. Rocca Bernarda has made significant contributions to the valorization of the native grape. In particular, Picolit (considered Italy’s Sauternes), owes its survival to Rocca Bernarda.
