THE MANIFESTO
Our values and our actions in our Manifesto, an expression of our craftsmanship.
1
Our main value: the transparency
No mixture, no compromise, 100% of ourselves in our wines. In fact, for 70 years our history has been reflected in our commitment to producing raw materials to generate sustainable wine.
2
Conscious Choices
Many goals every day: to strengthen our history; defend biodiversity; guarantee the integrity of the terroir; define our design; respect the consumer. And many other things to commit to from now on.

In good company. FIVI
We represent the terroir to exploit local identity and cultural heritage outside any market logic. For this reason we are in the Federazione Italiana Vignaioli Indipendenti – FIVI because we believe in the values of the winemaker who must produce in his/her territory, protect the terroir, defend the landscape.

Micro with big goals
We recognize our weaknesses and work to improve them by building partnerships with professionals who, in addition to being trusted advisors, have also been chosen for their values.
5
“Brinda Bevi Sorridi (toast, drink and smile)”
Our wines generate true and sincere conviviality, free from superstructures or formalities. Wines to be tasted in an authentic way and with spontaneous gestures; the real protagonists are the people, their souls and their dreams. Our favorite consumer loves good things and quality, he is a lover of culture, as well as interested in design and small things. Our favorite consumer is a wine lover, curious about authentic life and experiences in the vineyard.

In praise of terroir
The Friuli Isonzo DOC area is a gently sloping plateau from the Collio hills and the Carso plateau towards the Adriatic Sea. The temperature is optimal thanks to the thermoregulatory action of the sea and the mountains which enclose the plain and curb the penetration of the north winds, this creates a perfect balance in the aromas of the wines. The Isonzo river dynamically determines the morphology of this territory: rich in stones and minerals, including iron and aluminium. The wines are mineral, elegant, vertical and particularly long-lived.

We are green lovers
We are in the vineyard for 365 days. We work to increase the biological vitality of the soil, its structure and mineral content as all these elements will help establish a natural balance in the vineyard which helps produce high quality grapes whose characteristics respect the terroir.

Beautiness
We make good things beautiful. We need to surround ourselves with beautiful things to cheer up the spirit. Attracted by the imperfect beauty that nature gives us, with inimitable colors and discreet elegance, we pay homage to this on our label with a symbolic glimpse of village life.
Nelle prime ore di un giorno silente la campagna è avvolta in un’intima bruma protettiva./Dolce è l’incedere di fagiani e pernici tra la flora assopita./Odo lontano il suono ovattato delle campane del borgo a scandire il lavoro dell’assonnato vignaiolo.

Bees, our special workes
We have enthusiastically embraced the collaboration with bees, environmental sentinels responsible for 80% of the pollination process in nature. Thanks to the support of a technician, we will develop this process with conviction over the years.

Green soul
We are proudly convinced of the need to help respect the Earth. We do it daily by adopting good practices in the vineyard, countryside and cellar; generating electricity through a photovoltaic system; providing an electric bike charging point; using bottles with a sustainable weight (450 gr.).
