The objective of the Bastianich winery is to absorb the history and culture of the area, creating unique wines that tell the place but, at the same time, demonstrate to stand out for their body, structure and balance. Vespa White and Vespa Red were baptized with those names for the constant presence of wasps, attracted by ripe grapes. These blends are made in an area known for its single–varietal grapes. The focus, in this way, shifts from the vine to the terroir, namely the set of environmental and anthropogenic factors. Il Calabrone presents a red blend made with only the best vintages and partially dried, de–stemmed by hand grapes. It is put on the market five years after the harvest. Native varieties, such as Friulano (formerly known as Tocai Friulano), are not assembled with other varieties, to emphasize the uniqueness. The place of honor goes to Tocai Plus, a particularly complex wine made with grapes from the late harvest and dried grapes, all from a single vineyard with vines of 60 years.
