Even today that I have 40 vintages behind, I have always to bow before your age, oh thousand–year old marl on steep slopes of the mountain, where nothing else can be grown, I could talk about your ideal life for the strains and boast of that unique micro–climate, of that place that is a cru, that is like having the highest honor: they ensure compliance.
The name of the Company derives from the Coos family which at the beginning of the 19th Century produced wines on the Hills of Ramandolo: 5 generations at least of passion for the fruits of this land. A company that now is run by a dynamic Ltd. founded on friendship that has acquired the knowledge of the times, the seasons and the actions that lead to excellence.
Here is the philosophy of this Group of friends: to give a sense to tradition and to the techniques of the past, to the research of the original, authentic Ramandolo, experimenting new paths and ancient materials. Today the company has modern equipment and new wine cellars, but still harvests by hand (there is no alternative, due to the narrow terraces on steep slopes), according to the stages and the times of the past, vinifying only the native grapes (Because everyone has the grapes he deserves, they say in these parts), according to a wisdom that is the soul of Ramandolo, the depth, the future.
Zorzettig, a name linked to for generations to the winemaking activity of the Friulian land. Once farmers and then owners of lands, to come to the three brothers Livio, Francesco and Giuseppe, who founded in the mid–80s three companies, continuing separately the common path in the world of wine. Giuseppe gave his name to the Zorzettig Cav. Giuseppe farming company that covers the hills of Spessa, a few kilometers from the Longobardic town of Cividale, in the heart of the eastern Hills of Friuli.
The passion and energy of Giuseppe and Antonietta, tireless wife and mother as well as company’s cornerstone, were handed down to their children Roberto, Annalisa and Alessandro, together with the desire to continue to ride the way of love for the land. Many are the innovations introduced during these years, from the innovative vinification techniques to a modern equipment, all actions characterized by the respect for the values of the tradition and the constant pursuit of quality.
The untimely death of Roberto, who guided the company’s technical choices, gave way to Alessandro and Annalisa, who now deal with the agronomic part, the first, of the production and the sales network, the second.
The support in the cellar is assured by Fabio Coser.
The wines of Zorzettig, the result of selected grapes from vineyards owned harvested exclusively by hand, are vinified and aged in the ancient underground wine cellar and in the adjacent barrel room. The production of Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC wines, white and red grape varieties, both local and international, is of about eight hundred thousand bottles year round.

More than ninety years have passed and the company ia now managed by the grandsons Federico and Francesco with the same love, the same enthusiasm and the same respect for the traditions tied to the land and the wine that is still produced with manual labor and with passion.

The Roberto Scubla farm was founded in 1991 with a few existing old vines, to which new plants were added, up to 12 hectares of vineyards. The vineyards are all located on the sides of a completely sunny hill in the southern part of the eastern hills of Friuli, the deletion place for wines with extraordinary harmonies of aromas and flavors.
The limited production allows a great care of the grapes harvested by hand and wines; this has made that in recent years the main Wine Guides have been particularly generous in attributing excellent valuations and the highest level to some wines.
This is with no doubt an incentive to try to improve with new experiences in care, primarily, of the vineyard, whose product is the true basis for a careful elaboration of the value of the fruit and then of the wine.
The first information on the production of wine in the RoncSoreli date back to the early twentieth century.
The farm, mainly engaged in the production of quality wines, stretches over 72 hectares of property that develop between the towns of Prepotto, Cividale and the Corno Rosazzo.
The 43 hectares of vineyards occupy the hill facing east–southeast of the village of Novacuzzo in the Municipality of Prepotto. The vineyards, which with the hill top touch the Bosco Romagno Natural Park, go down to touch the banks of the river Judrio, the natural border with Slovenia and the Collio of Gorizia.
At the foot of the hill the ancient village of Novacuzzo stands, with adjoining villa and the original wine cellar.
Ronco dei Pini is located in Prepotto in the Eastern Hills of Friuli, on the border with Slovenia and the Collio of Gorizia, in the hill consisting of ponca soils.
Angelo Novello and his children, for generation expert farmers of the lands of eastern Veneto, bought the property from the Counts Rieppi of Prepotto almost forty years ago, after many years in which they had already frequented it and had been fascinated by the quality of the wines and the beauty of the area of the Eastern Collio of Friuli.
In 1990, Vito Novello, purchased the shares of his brothers and started the Ronco dei Pini business. The new company, which owes its name to the pine forest that is located on top of a hill, began a journey of renewed quality, which underwent a marked acceleration after 1997 with the full entrance into the family business of the sons of Vito, Giuseppe and Claudio.
Processing methods to get the wanted quality start from the low yields per hectare combined with a particular focus in the winery (maceration of red and white grapes combined with the technology of cold and temperature control). The aging of red wines, occurs both in tonneau and in barriques. The results of this commitment and passion soon arrived, and today Ronco dei Pini is recognized and appreciated by major national and international magazines in the industry.
Among the Eastern Hills of Friuli and Plessiva in the Collio of Gorizia, the vineyard is divided between Prepotto and Spessa di Cividale.
Claudio Novello runs the company in first person, assisted by his brother Giuseppe and by the enotechnicians De Noni and Stramare in the winery.

The Perusini company is among the 50 “happy few” registered by Veronelli in the Gotha of the historical Italian winemakers. In effect, in the latest century, when the fashion of French wines was still prevailing, Giacomo Perusini, grandfather of the current owner, began the selection and preservation of some indigenous grapes (especially Piccolit).
After his untimely death in World War I, his work was continued by his wife Giuseppina Perusini Antonini, painter, writer, but also skilled businesswoman, who begans the revival of regional wines in the domestic and international market. Her son Gaetano, professor at the University of Trieste, continued and expanded research on agriculture and traditional varieties, while the other son Giampaolo went on in particular with the selection of Ribolla Gialla.
Now the castle of Rocca Bernarda, historic home of the family, has passed by bequest of Gaetano Perusini to the Order of Malta together with part of the company, but the family tradition continues in the remaining part on the hill of Gramogliano lapped by the river Judrio until 1918, the border between Italy and the Austro–Hungarian monarchy.
The company now is run by Teresa, daughter of Giampaolo. Like her uncle and her sister, art historian but also passionate winegrower. In the company management, today, she is helped by her husband and sons Carlo, Tommaso and Michele. So, the family tradition continues on the hill of Gramogliano known for centuries, as the one of Rosazzo and the Rocca, as the cru hors class of the eastern hills of Friuli.
