The best wineries in Codroipo.
The Producers’ Winery of Codroipo has ancient origins: it was founded in 1920 as Cooperative Cocoons Dryer, to which in 1954 the distillery and in 1955 the winery were added.
From the first vintage in 1957, for about twenty years, the cooperative was engaged in the collection and drying of cocoons and in the harvesting and vinification of grapes and in the distillation of pomace.
In 1975, the disease that struck silkworms made the activity of collection of cocoons to be left, and since then all energies were devoted to the winery and wine production became the main activity.
Today, the Producers’ Winery of Codroipo is actually one of the most significant in the wine sector: it has 250 members with over 450 hectares of land planted with vines in the Friulian plain of the Friuli Grave DOC zone, between the provinces of Udine and Pordenone.
By choosing to invest since the nineties on more and more advanced machinery and equipment for winemaking, today the winery is a true point of reference in Friuli.
In 2006, it inaugurated the new seat, modern and cutting edge, which has allowed us to increase the amount of worked grapes, which reached in the latest season 45,000 quintals.
The Group of members, enthusiastic and tight–knit, are the DNA of the Producers’ Winery of Codroipo:
a cooperative that since 1920 cultivates the values of union, of solidarity and of the dream to grow and create prestige for people and their activities, and that offers quality wines and spirits that gather and talk about the values of traditional cultivation and respect for nature.
The winery of Azienda Vigneti Pittaro was founded by the tradition of vinegrowers who have a four centuries old story. Currently, the company covers almost 80 hectares fo vine rows, of the typical varieties of the Grave area of Friuli, for a production of 8,000 hectoliters of wine that are commercialized all over the world.
For the first time in Friuli a winery has been built with traditional materials and with the entire roof made of wood. There are more or less 3,500 square meters of covering with a building perfectly integrated with the territory, with two lateral wings that make it similar to a big plane, like an American Galaxy.
The interior is built with cutting edge techniques with barrels made of stainless steel only, wooden barrels and barriques, a cooling plant and a bottling plant.
Another winery, a few hundred meters far and surrounded by a thick park, is the seat of the aging of the classic method sparkling wine, where an average of 200,000 bottles of valuable talent, which are the honor and the pride of the Italian sparkling wine production are left to age. The white wines are Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon and Friulian Tocai. The red wines are Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso and Agresto. Two points of strength are Brut Classico Talento and Brut Classico Talento Millesimato.
White wines present themselves as fresh, fruity, elegant, without tiring palates with too marked, strong scents and aromas.
The red wines are harmonious, full–bodied, scented when Young and of full and structured taste if they are aged. If, on the one hand, many different varieties of wine exist, on the other hand we have to recognize that the cultived types present their own features that distinguish them.
In the Grave area of Friuli, as in the entire Friulian winemaking, wine bears the name of the vine from which it is produced.
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.
