"Vigna del Lauro" (or Laurel Tree Vineyard) was born in 1994 through a collaboration with one of my closest friends, Eberhard Spangenberg, a German importer of fine Italian wines.
The name comes from an old estate planted with Tocai Friulano grapes. The vines are surrounded by centuries-old bay laurels: their leaves fill the vineyards with intense, spicy fragrance.
The estate covers roughly 10 hectars in the township of Cormons, situated in the Collio and Isonzo DOCs (partly owned and partly leased).
The estate is run by my family: myself, my wife Daniela and our two sons, Matteo and Enrico. Our main focus is respect and care for the fruit itself. We consider this approach essential in expressing the varietal traits of each wine and celebrating the originality of our terroir.
