The vintage, marked by unpredictable weather, gave us a hard time, but we kept pace with it: our constant, attentive presence and the care given to each vine in the vineyard are the tools that now allow us to look optimistically at the potential of the grapes we harvested. 

For us, the harvest is always a time of utmost attention, but this year it is more so than ever. The pursuit of the highest quality imposes a fundamental rule during the harvest: picking healthy, clean grapes. This means a strictly manual harvest. 

That is always how we do things, and even more so in 2023: berries damaged by adverse weather conditions must be removed one by one from the bunches through the expertise of our harvesters’ eyes and hands. 

Manual selection is the human factor that safeguards quality in the cellar. We do not want to, and could never, give it up.

Bees are fundamental to biodiversity: they make pollination possible, the basic principle underlying plant life. Today, they are at risk of extinction because of the excessive use of pesticides in agriculture.

Protecting bees in the context of sustainable agriculture means caring about the planet. We believe in this, which is why we have been hosting several beehives in our vineyards for some time.

Bees are also friends of grapes: when a grape is cracked, they seal the wound by sucking on it, protecting the bunch from possible mold or rot.

Precious bees, allies of the vineyard: they also give us a little honey - good and pure – which we share with friends and guests.

The new wine and culture series, created in collaboration with Libreria Lovat, begins on 28 May on Colle di Gramogliano.

Wine and culture are an inseparable combination for us. That is why the winery can become a cultural space. We thought we would open our doors to writers, artists and musicians. We are starting with books.

The brand-new series will host 4 writers who will engage in conversation with a journalist and the audience.We look forward to welcoming you to our terrace overlooking the vineyards, hills and Julian Prealps. Finally, it will be a pleasure to offer you an aperitif with wines produced in our vineyards.

The stories in this book take us through ancient villages and sprawling outskirts, from the United States to the Mediterranean, tracing rebellious topographies almost always stained with sauce. They all have the flavor of intoxication and freedom, perhaps because our present lives are steeped in wine just as much as in ideals.

Floramo's stories are born from, or carried by, a glass of wine. Because wine and sharing it spark conversation and give rise to storytelling. 

We look forward to seeing you in Gramogliano on May 18: Angelo Floramo will tell us about his travels and his favorite wines.

We are delighted to have been invited to take part in this historic event, now in its 22nd edition. It is organized by Agricola Monte San Pantaleone and takes place in San Giovanni Park in Trieste, specifically in the Rose Garden, one of the largest in Europe. In May, it is a riot of color and plant life.

This place is important because it was here that Franco Basaglia led his campaign to close psychiatric hospitals and promote social integration, which led to Law 180.

But the Rose Garden is above all a place of beauty and culture. In May, writers, musicians, and winemakers meet the public here.
Our agronomist Simone Desabbata will tell you about our vineyards and our light-touch approach to winemaking, with a strong focus on environmental sensitivity.

And then there will be our wines, to be tasted in the splendid setting of the Rose Garden. Don’t miss it! Free admission.

Since 2008, Tocai, due to complex international legal issues, has become Friulano. Many in the region experienced the new christening sadly. It must be said, however, that the new name perfectly conveys the Friulians’ complete affection for this variety: a glass of white wine (a glass of white wine) in these lands has historically been identified precisely with Tocai. The old name has remained for the grape variety: Friulano, therefore, is made from Tocai Friulano grapes.
Although rooted in the wine culture of these lands and widespread in the vineyards, it comes from France and arrived in Friuli in the nineteenth century. Genetically, it is Sauvignonasse, a close relative of Sauvignon, an ancient and distinguished grape variety. Although of distant origin, therefore, this wine has become deeply rooted in its local territory. 

Our Friulano follows the thread of elegance: it is a graceful wine that dispenses with all muscular ostentation and displays a fine backbone; it is firm and rigorous. It combines finesse and texture, conveying the savory character of the soils from which it originates.

May and June are golden months for visiting the vineyards and winery on Gramogliano Hill. This season is absolutely the best for enjoying the landscape of vineyards, villages in the Colli Orientali, and mountains in the background.

It will be our pleasure to welcome you for a visit to the vineyards and winery, offering you the opportunity to taste our wines. We will tell you about our “complete production chain”: from grape to bottle, since all our grapes are tended and produced by us.

Our first monographic exhibition on the Friulian artist Carlo Vidoni, curated by Charlotte Ménard, ended on 10 September 2021. 11 sculptures to tell the relationship between man and nature, in a path capable of transporting the visitor into a world of silence and a necessary slowness in rediscovering and observing nature.

We are proud to take part in the Eno-Bee Api in Vigna project, in collaboration with beekeeper Anna Brandolin. Today we host 15 hives (for a total of 40,000 bees) between the hills of Gramogliano and that of Prepotto. With ten more hives on the way, the future looks ever sweeter!

Just eight kilometers away from the hill of Gramogliano is the municipality of Prepotto, famous for its particular vocation for an indigenous vine: it is the Schioppettino, also known as Ribolla Nera; it is precisely here that Canus has acquired a new plot, a vineyard characterized by a very peculiar symmetrical arrangement.
