Producer history Gravner
Joško Gravner is a historic producer from Collio/Carso (Oslavia, Friuli-Venezia Giulia) renowned for prolonged maceration vinification and the use of terracotta amphorae. The name 'Gravner' is primarily associated with the winemaking activity; in some cases the pomace from his grapes has been sold or made available for collaborative distillations with master distillers such as Capovilla.
Production philosophy
Strong focus on quality and respect for raw materials: low-intervention agriculture and vinification, enhancement of native grape varieties and traditional techniques. For grappas bearing the Gravner name there is a clear intent to transfer the wine's personality into the distillate through collaborations with artisanal distillers.
Territory
The original pomace comes from Gravner's vineyards (Oslavia, Collio, Friuli-Venezia Giulia). Distillation and ageing of the grappas linked to the label take place at Distillati Capovilla (Rosà, Veneto) as part of the collaboration between the two producers.
