HALF CENTURY

DOC Friuli Colli Orientali

On the top of the hill of Gramogliano, our ronco, we are lucky enough to take care of a portion of the vineyard whose plants are over 50 years old. A historic vineyard deserved its own special recognition. And so its grapes have become the protagonists of a cuvèe made through a light and partial drying. The name is a tribute to the very respectable age of the plants, especially merlot, an iconic variety in Friuli. We meticulously take care  of the composition and the process that give rise to this wine with a singular and marked temperament. It is a seductive and bold interpretation of a historic vineyard.
