The story
The estate grew out of the Cappello family's long entrepreneurial experience: acquisitions and plantings begun in the mid-20th century transformed the gravelly soils of Sequals into a large, family-run wine estate. Over time management passed to subsequent generations, with expansions of the winery, new product lines and technological investments that have culminated in increased production in recent years.
Production philosophy
A strong focus on quality from vineyard to cellar: selecting the best-suited sites, attentive vineyard management, tailored vinification and investments in technology to enhance the character of the grape varieties and the terroir, while maintaining operational efficiency and sustainability.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards lie in the Magredi, at the foot of the Friulian hills near Sequals, on gravelly alluvial and calcareous-dolomitic soils. The microclimate is influenced by the Alpine breeze from Val Tramontina, which promotes healthy grapes and a mineral character in the wines. The area falls within the DOC Friuli Grave zone.
