It is the year 1972, when our father Luigi Antonutti, one of the deans of the Friulian wine, fulfilled what he had dreamt for a long time: to live full time as a winemaker. In love with the land and the fruits that these hills dispense he bought a few hectares in the heart of the Collio Goriziano area. Azienda Agricola Subida di Monte was than founded, that over the years grew, now occupying an area of about 10 hectares, thanks to the love and dedication that Gigi has been able to give it. Now it is up to us children, Cristian and Andrea, the task of continuing on the path of our father, so we take care personally of managing the vineyards and the cellar. Our goal is to produce wines with utmost respect for nature and the land, therefore, synthetic chemicals, pesticides and herbicides are not used anymore. We respect nature and its laws looking for a harmonious relationship with the surrounding environment in order to produce natural grapes from which a wine that is an expression of the land and the vine is made. The management of the vineyards provides only the specific use of natural organic fertilizers, a controlled planting of grass, and for the defense against the cryptogams only products with low environmental impact, not detrimental to the health of man, are used. The grapes are harvested by hand, vinification takes place mainly in stainless steel tanks with temperature control of fermentation while fining requires wines to stay on the lees until the bottling period. An average of 50,000 bottles a year, obtained from 10 hectares of vineyards with different planting densities (5,000–7,000 vines/hectare) are produced.
