Winery Terre Rosse

The Lestani family has farmed the land in Cuccana since the late 19th century; Terre Rosse began as a winemaking project when Adamo Lestani, who succeeded his father, planted the first vineyards. The estate developed from 1997 and has since expanded production while maintaining its connection to the territory and low-impact agricultural practices.

The winery places two pillars at the heart of its work: quality and sustainability. In the vineyard, measures are taken to limit chemical treatments, and in the cellar techniques that preserve the aromas and integrity of the grapes are favored.

Located in the hamlet of Cuccana, in the municipality of Bicinicco, on the Friuli plain, on iron-rich "red soils" that characterize the local microclimate. The estate is situated within the DOC Friuli area and manages vineyards planted at close spacing, using grass cover management to improve soil fertility and aeration.

Recognitions from the main national guides. Recent awards cited by the winery include: the WineHunter Award 2020 with Gold awards for Traminer Aromatico 2018, Merlot 2017 and Vinea Mea Electa 2015; mentions and ratings in Falstaff 2020; and recognitions at Vinoforum and regional events.
