Description
Ribolla Gialla is an ancient indigenous grape variety of Friuli Venezia Giulia, cultivated for several centuries in its areas of excellence, namely the hills of Rosazzo, Collio and the Slovenian Brda. Ribolla Gialla prefers dry and hilly soils where it gives rise to intense and structured wines that nevertheless maintain freshness and pleasantness in drinking as their main characteristic.

These lands have always been devoted to oenology and here the plant of the vine has found the best conditions since Roman times, thanks to the fact that in this oriental strip of land of our region the climate and the soil have features that are unique and exceptional for winemaking. That was the origin of it…
It all started with a 360-degree company that covered many aspects of the production for private consumption: dairy, cereal and wine production. Later, when Graziano and his wife Anna Maria started working in the company, the management techniques of the vineyards and of the winemaking were improved, making the farm more specifically focused on the winemaking sector.
Nowadays, the activity of the company is galvanised by the presence of the third generation of Specogna winemakers Cristian and Michele that long ago have taken the lead of the company. With great passion and commitment they are granting an important company development improving the works in the vineyards and cellars and an expansion of the sales into the most important international markets. Today our company has an overall surface of 25 hectares, 22 of which are vineyards cultivated in organic agricolture. We produce more or less 100,000 bottles per year, 50% of which are sold on the national market and 50% in more than 30 countries in the world. Read more
