Cadibon. A family, a land, the art of wine
"Qui di Bon" is the meaning of the name Cadibon, a synthesis that symbolizes the importance of the territory and of the family tradition in the
creation of wines that express together the power of nature and the wisdom of man.
Corno di Rosazzo and Eastern Hills of Friuli are the cradle of the Cadibon wines. White and red wines with a strong temperament treated with great passion and attention to the environment by Luca Bon, a young but already experienced vinegrower and, together, sophisticated and meticulous winemaker. The tradition of hospitality of local people is confirmed by the new winery, designed to offer maximum functionality for the processing of grapes and aging, but also to welcome visitors and lovers for a wine tasting and a tasting of locally sourced products.
The Cadibon label identifies the best of the company production. This selection is flanked by a white wine and a Merlot signed "L’Osteria", two products that bear the same name of the homonimous venue of San Giovanni al Natisone, personally coordinated by Ameris Bon, who divides his attentions among guests and the typical recipes of his cuisine.
The seat of the Cadibon farm has always been in Casali Gallo resort, in Corno di Rosazzo, in one of the most evocative corners of Friuli Venezia Giulia, the heart of the production of some of the best white wines in the world.
A succession of forests, vineyards, scattered farmhouses, some ancient villa and a severe abbey–fortress which is an environmental paradise and a wildlife island.
Characteristic of the territory, from the agricultural point of view, the so–called "ponca", the terrain consisting of thick deposits of calcareous clay and marl, very precious because of the quality of the grapes that you can grow. The country where the company is located is identified also by the River Corno, a tributary of the Judrio, a river in which it flows after a journey of 24 km that begins at the foot of Mount Plagnava.
In addition to the production of wines, the area is famous for a wonderful culinary tradition, the main symbol of which is certainly the famous San Daniele ham. Corno di Rosazzo is surrounded by destinations of great historical and cultural value. Among these, Cividale and Aquileia, a Unesco heritage resort, Villa Manin in Codroipo, Udine, Trieste and, at about 100 km, Venice. Besides the nearby border, Slovenia offers interesting natural and tourism beauties, too.
"In addition to working in the vineyard, for the quality of our wines we focus on other choices and key moments: the harvest, the evaluation of the perfect maturity for each variety, fast transport of the grapes to the winery. We decide to pick each grape variety after several days of continuous steps of tasting and observation of grapes.
The harvest is made by hand, the transport with small carts speeds the arrival in the wine cellar".
"From the moment in which the first cluster is taken from the vine, the concentration of labor becomes more and more intense and engaging, to the point of staying in the wine cellar until late at night to control fermentation, to maintain temperatures, to verify every detail".
"The key moments that determine the best features of our products are enclosed in two months, after which our wine is aged only in perfect conditions, a phase that will develop in containers made of steel or wooden barrels".
