The best wineries in Udine.
The vineyard, founded by Giuliano Sara, lies in the heart of Friuli's eastern hills, on a land rich with rivers and streams, woods and hills of clay marl and sandstone. Sheltered from the cold north winds, this spot offers a perfect microclimate for the development of the "noble rot" essential to elegant raisin wines such as Picolit and Verduzzo.
Livio Felluga manages the historic vineyards that surround the abbey of Rosazzo. The work in the vineyard is done meticulously, the yield per vine is very low and everything ensures a very high quality of the final product.
The "Vendrame Vignis del Doge" firm is located in the region of Friuli Venezia Giulia and is situated in the heart of the Friuli Grave D.O.C. in the province of Udine, right in front of Villa Manin which was the summer residence of the last Doge of Venice – Ludovico Manin. From 1,600, Villa Manin was a very important agricultural complex including a vast cultivation of grape vines on the grounds known as "VIGNIS" now property of the Vendrame family. One whole wing of the villa, now a restaurant, was the canteen and the wines, thanks to a new means of communication, reached Austria and the European courts very quickly. This villa, the largest of the region, is famous because on the 17th October, 1,797, the Treaty of Campoformio which signaled the end of the glorious Republic of Venice was signed by Napoleon Bonaparte and the Hapsburgs of Austria. The Venetian city, in fact, was surrendered to Austria, along with Istria and Dalmatia. After the middle of the 1800's, the villa with its canteen and its vineyards was abandoned and left to decay. With the purchase of the lands in 1968, the discovery of this forgotten history, the choice of the trademark, the fusion of the surname Vendrame with the antique name Vignis, and the Doge's horn which is the symbol of the authority of the Doge, life was given to the "VENDRAME VIGNIS DEL DOGE". So, a bit of history is passed into the present and life and continuation is given to a vinicultural and enological tradition from these lands.
The "Ronco Prepotto" winery has belonged to the Macorig family since 1901 and is located in an area that is particularly suited to viticulture: Prepotto in the province of Udine
You have to climb on foot or go up in a jeep in order to see the wineyards planted on the heights of Prepotto, south-east of Cividale del Friuli, in the eastern hills of Friuli close up. Amond the woos and meadows, along winding dirty roads you will come across terraces of the new and old plants. Vineyards have always grown here as the Macorig fanily since 1901.
Giuseppe Macorig, in fact, had a house and a small vineyard in Prepotto, which he passed to his son, Gino, then to Annibale father of Giampaolo, the current owner (although his father is a solid shoulder to lean on in all business decisions). Managing the estate really is passion for him together with a desire to see it grow too.
From the Macorig family, in the hills of Prepotto, with their beautifully aspected and resiliend land, it is impossible not to talk about fine wines. Attention to the vineyard, the grapes themselves, to the raising, the cellar and of course the wine.
So, the vineyards have all been rearranged, and a good 35% of them, completely renewed (almost all using the Guyot method with a plant density of 4500-5000 vines per hectar). Vine management has a low enviroment impact: no herbicides, or drying agents are used and chemical fertilizers are used in very small doses (we prefer to opt for organic ones with the distribution of the good old manure ...)<, treatment is only used for defense purposes if necessary.
The harvest, of course, is completely by hand using crates, and is carried out several times in order to pick the grapes at just the right level of ripeness. Part of all grape varieties is left to dry in the big, well ventilated barn, once part of the old farmhouse buildings where the grape clusters are hung, one by one, on hundreds of hooks palced in rows under the roof. A great sacrifice, which bot father and son, deem necessary. In the cellar, the use of wooden barrels is used in the most intelligent way possible depending on the grape variety in any given vantage.
Strategic choices have led to diversification of production, and subsequentelly of distribution, through the creation of two product lines: the exciting "Ronco di Prepotto" blends, and the pure, autochtonous "vineyards of the sacred Mountains" wines.
Sita in one of the vocati places more of the Friuli Venice Julia and just in the Hills It orients them of the Friuli, Vine lenuzza is an agricultural company to familiar conduction.

Family.
The Tenute Grandi & Gabana estate has developed from the ancient roots of the
Friuli Venezia Giulia Doc viticulture territory. The name comes from the founder,
Marcello Gabana, one of the first to believe and invest with commitment and
dedication in the wine business, unfortunately he left us prematurely. Today his
noble history continues in the same direction with the renewed enthusiasm of his
daughters Giulia and Claudia and wife Daniela.
Situated in the heart of the Friuli-Latisana Doc area, the estate is surrounded by its
350 hectares, 100 of which are dedicated to the vineyards. The typical
soil found in
the area is a calcareous clay soil, ideal for the production of aromatic and structured
wines. The love of the land and passion for wine enabled Tenute Grandi & Gabana
to become one of the most interesting wine producers in the area, thanks also to the
family tradition and natural ability to produce and offer excellent wines.
Territory.
The Friuli-Latisana Doc territory, a harmonious combination of tastes and
atmosphere, is located in the South West side of Udine on a territory with inimitable
features. The soil is calcareous and is characterized by compact clay layers with
fractions of peat, making the wine that derives from this region very distinctive and
typical of the area, unique in its kind both from a physical and biological point of
view. This also thanks to the fact that the soil has a natural supply of underground
mineral water and therefore the area is kept in absolute respect to the environment.
Another beneficial contribution is the temperate climate, mild winters and pleasant
warm summers. Given these distinctive attributions, our vines are in an ideal
position for the cultivation of indigenous single varietal vines, like Refosco dal
Peduncolo Rosso, the Friulano, Pinot Bianco and Grigio and Sauvignon, which all
give unique and unmistakable sensations to the palate, a genuine expression of its
origin.
Company.
Today Tenute Grandi & Gabana provides a balanced
combination of history
(which stems back to the beginning of the century) and modernity.
In the course of the years the Gabana family has gradually increased the number of
hectares on its estate to meet the demand of a rapidly expanding market, planting
new vineyards along with the older ones (30-35 years
old) from which our top wines
come from, the “Cru Selection”.
The new and future plan of the wine cellar includes the construction
of
an innovative and modern structure together with architecturally advanced
showrooms where visitors can taste the entire selection that the company
offers from
wine to grappa.
The company is part of the group of the Aleandri Estates, a family operating in Veneto that has always been able to take advantage of the potential of the territory of the Collio area.
Mulino delle Tollo, today, is a new cutting–edge winery and a suggestive farm. The wines produced increase their quality year after year, and enclose in their notes the characteristics of the territory where they are made, and the company’s philosophy does not follow the dictates of the market.
The origin of the business date back to 1924, when Giovanni Battista Donda moved from Scodovacca di Cervignano and, along with his family, settled down in Aquileia, where he pourchased 13 hectares of surrounding woodland, characterised by trees such as poplars, mulberries and alders, and a long-type climate. In the following decades, his son Bruno continued the work by dedicating himself passionately to the cultivation of the vines and the production of fine wines. Three generations of wine- makers; Giovanni Battista, his son Bruno who, along with his new famiily, continued the work with expertise; and, in recent years, his grandson "Gianni", the new owner.
The company was founded in the second half of the nineteenth century thanks to the Rieppi family, and therefore one of the oldest companies in the area of Albana di Predotto. In 2006 it was recognized by Lino Casella, a passionate winemaker.
The company was founded in 2007, but the Gigante family has been renowned in the area for grape growing and wine production. The company’s results are excellent, as demonstrated by the 2006 vintage of Refosco and Sauvignon 2008.
