Description
An indigenous Friulian variety of great tradition, its history has ancient origins if we accept the hypothesis that it is the famous Roman red wine called 'Pucinum' that Pliny the Elder tells us was present in what is now Friuli Venezia Giulia. The name derives from the colour of the stem that holds the grapes to the vine. The Friuli Colli Orientali DOC area offers a production of excellence. Soft and generous, it has a distinct gastronomic vocation.

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".
