Description

The Pignolo is a grape variety originating in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, with an ancient tradition documented as far back as 1300. It was abandoned in favour of less inconstant international vines. From a few vines recovered from the vineyards of the Abbey of Rosazzo, the Colli Orientali del Friuli area has been repopulated with this noble vine, capable of yielding wines of great character and typicality.

We have always connected with the entire Friuli region, not just with the hills where we live. Friuli is a borderland. An outpost of modernity. Italian and Central European. A crossroads of cultures and trade. A meeting point for peoples and traditions. Many identities, a single soul.

In the Colli Orientali del Friuli, and especially in Torre Rosazza, the growing of grapevines has a very ancient history. Already known in Roman times, grapes were also grown in the Middle Ages, along with other crops such as olives and grains. In those years, wine was a commodity or a bargaining chip that demonstrated a family’s wealth.

Noble elegance. The history of Torre Rosazza has been tied to the Antonini family, part of the Udine nobility, since the 1600s. Already the lords of the agricultural estate, the Antonini restored the medieval tower and built the villa that became their home in the hills: Turris Rosacea.

After the Antonini, Torre Rosazza passed to the De Marchi family. But more than any other event, the biggest mark on its history was left by the two World Wars. After the Battle of Caporetto, the estate came under Austrian control before returning to Italy at the end of the war. During the World War II it was the scene of fighting between the German occupation army and the Italian Resistance.

Origin In the hills of Manzano (Udine)

Soil composition This wine originates from a soil named "Ponca", which is a sedimentary formation integrally made of clayey marl alternating with layers of sandstone. This soil shows low fertility and good capacity to hold water giving the wine a full-bodied taste and colour, tannins, and minerality. Vineyards are located in the top of the hills with a perfect exposure that allows the full ripening of the grapes. The remarkable temperatures and the good ventilation from the Adriatic Sea give tasty and sugary grapes.
