Giovanni purchased 40 hectares on the gravelly, mineral-enriched deposit of the diverted Isonzo River, sheltered by the mountains from the raw northern winds. The abundant minerals in the soil make for the grapes’ rich components and extract and strong fruity/floral nuances to the varietal character.
Giovanni heads a family team of sons Alessio (winemaker), Alberto (vineyard manager) and daughter Angela (administration), who combine their in-depth knowledge of the area with discipline and attention to detail to craft exceptional wines. And it would be remiss of us not to mention the divine cooking of Mireide!
