Description

The wine is obtained from an almost equal blend of Schioppettino and Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, coming from vineyards located in Prepotto. The approach both in the vineyard and in the cellar aims to preserve the natural expressiveness of the grape, the territory and the vintage. In the vineyard, no herbicides, pesticides or chemical substances are used, while in the cellar we opt for spontaneous alcoholic fermentations, followed, in the case of this red, by a 22-month refinement in barrique.

The wine appears in the glass with a lively and compact ruby color. The nose is varied but defined, with clear references to black pepper, wild herbs, cinchona, chocolate and rhubarb. The rich olfactory bouquet is reflected in a cohesive and pulpy sip, characterized by a velvety tactility. Despite its complexity, the wine is very pleasant to drink, especially when paired with tasty meat-based dishes.

Winery history

The winery was established as a project by Flavio Basilicata and Silvana Forte in the 1980s in Prepotto, on the border with Slovenia. Since then it has remained family-run, developing a modest, recognized production noted for its attention to the local terroir. In recent years their daughter Cora has become involved in the family business.

Production philosophy

Artisanal viticulture and low‑intervention cellar practices are preferred: hand harvesting, spontaneous fermentations and extended aging aimed at highlighting the character of the soil and local varieties rather than invasive winemaking interventions.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards in the Prepotto area, in the Colli Orientali del Friuli. Sources describe the soils as marls and red soil; the estate is set in a hilly area on the border with Slovenia.
