Villa Fossa Mala, formerly known as Villa Bassi della Meduna, is a historic estate that embodies the elegance and charm of the Veneto-Friuli countryside. The villa's origins date back to the 16th and 17th centuries, and its architecture reflects the traditional enclosed courtyard style that became a hallmark of the aristocratic villas in the region around 1600. The estate is graced by a centuries-old magnolia tree, a symbol of the villa's enduring legacy. Visitors to Fossa Mala can explore the remnants of its rural past, including a drinking fountain, cobblestone paving near the old stables, and the large arches on the first floor, once used as a hayloft. The villa's walls, constructed with alternating river stones and bricks, reveal the craftsmanship of centuries past. Today, Fossa Mala stands as a testament to the region's rich history, offering a unique experience for travelers who appreciate the blend of historical architecture, natural beauty, and the art of winemaking.

Vigneti Micossi is a historic winery rooted in the traditions of the Friuli region, with a legacy that dates back to the early 1900s. Originally established by the Micossi family, the winery expanded in the 1970s to include a "Frasca"—a cozy place where locals could not only buy wine but also enjoy a drink and a slice of salami or cheese in good company. During this time, Walter Micossi, the grandson of the original founder, took over the management of the cellar, enhancing production and beginning to market the wines more widely. Today, the winery is under the stewardship of Walter's son, Alessandro, who continues the family tradition with the same dedication and passion. Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Friuli, Vigneti Micossi offers visitors an authentic experience, blending history, culture, and the timeless art of winemaking.

It was the passion for wine, combined with the desire to rediscover their origins, that led the Bastianich family, in 1997, to plant the first vineyards in Buttrio and Cividale del Friuli, in one of Italy's most suitable areas for the production of white wines. The vineyards, all owned since 1997, are located in two distinct areas of the DOC Colli Orientali del Friuli. The original vineyard, located in the communes of Buttrio and Premariacco, lies in the warmest, southernmost zone of Friuli Colli Orientali. These terraced vineyards are warmed by the heat of the Friulian plains and the Adriatic Sea. Re-planted and re-terraced in 2000-2002, these vines are at the height of their quality and production, providing the grapes for our greatest cru wines; Vespa Bianco, Vespa Rosso, Plus, and Calabrone. In Cividale, 10 miles to the north and cooled by mountain breezes, our vineyards here produce the grapes for the fresh, aromatic wines of the Vini Orsone line.

Colutta Winery is nestled in the Colli Orientali del Friuli, a unique area in Friuli-Venezia Giulia that dates back to the Eocene era. This region, known for its distinct microclimate and ideal exposure, stands apart from the rest of the territory, making it a premier DOC area for producing world-renowned wines. The Colutta Farm, named "Bandut" after an ancient piece of land purchased by Antonio Colutta in the early 1900s, is now managed by Giorgio Colutta. Our vineyards, located in Buttrio, Manzano, and Rosazzo, are part of the prestigious "Parco della vite e del vino" (Vine and Wine Park) in the Colli Orientali del Friuli. Spanning 18 hectares, the estate has undergone significant reorganization and renovation, increasing vine density to 5,000-6,000 stumps per hectare to enhance the quality of our grapes. Recognized by major wine guides and publications like "Wine Spectator" and "Decanter," Colutta Winery is committed to excellence. We are also in the process of obtaining ISO 9001 Certification to ensure the highest standards of quality and service, from our vineyards to your glass.

Nadalutti winery is located in Orsaria, between the hills of Manzano and Premariacco, in the heart of Colli Orientali del Friuli, and it is the result of almost sixty years of work of the family. Today the business produces excellent wines from vineyards located in Orsaria and Rosazzo, the latter being one of the most suited areas of Friuli for the production of white wines. The cultivation of vines is done with the traditional method of "double upside down" which allows to obtain an optimal vegetal-productive balance while respecting nature. In the production of grapes, Nadalutti winery makes use of integrated pest control with low environmental impact, without using herbicides, even in harvesting we remain faithful to these principles by harvesting grapes by hand in cases. The vinification of the grapes takes place in modern thermo-conditioned steel barrels. The rigor and great attention, even for the smallest detail, are combined with the traditional technique, to preserve the terroir and the aromatic heritage generated by our vines, in order to create unique wines.

IL RONCAL is a small estate of 20 hectares, terraced on Montebello Hill, in the heart of the Colli Orientali del Friuli, only 3 km away from the historical center of Cividale del Friuli (UNESCO site). Here Martina Moreale carries on the project of her husband Roberto, founder of the winery. Day after day, the diligent care of this land offers its best fruits, harvested to create high-quality wines. The estate of IL RONCAL is surrounded by an impressive landscape and by numerous vineyards, grown in a homogenous soil composition and with ideal climatic conditions. It is possible to find different varieties of wine, each presenting its own peculiarities and unique characteristics. Each distinctive feature results from the dedicated passion of our wine growers and from their technical expertise, which throughout the years has led to perfection. In Friulian (local language), the name “Roncal” means terraced estate on a hill; as a matter of fact, the “ronchi” are the hillsides dominating this striking landscape. The slopes of our vineyards, surrounding Montebello Hill, are favored by excellent sun exposure. Additionally, the marl-sandstone soil is ideal for grape cultivation. IL RONCAL harvest is intentionally postponed for the grapes to reach their full ripeness. The wine production continues then within the cellar, where traditional wine methods are followed. Tradition and modernity continue to coexist; for this reason, the sweet-smelling oak barrels, where the wines mature and the fragrances become full-blown, stand near the shiny cold steel basins.

Wine is a creation shaped not only by human hands but also by the elements. Weather, with its inherent unpredictability—rainfall, the sun’s gradual intensification, and drying winds—plays a crucial role in the life of vineyards and the quality of their fruits. Each vintage is unique, molded by these ever-changing factors. Time is another key element—the present that turns into the past, the slow maturation that spans years, allowing wine to develop its full character in taste and aroma. Each vintage evolves differently over time, further emphasizing the uniqueness of every bottle. To maintain consistency, all wines are produced in purity. The vineyards, located adjacent to the main facility, are owned by the company, ensuring that no grapes are purchased. Every step of the winemaking process, from harvest to bottling, aging, and labeling, takes place on-site. Our wines are truly wines of time. Every step of the production process is designed to preserve longevity: careful vine pruning to select the best shoots, rigorous thinning to leave only about a kilo of grapes per vine, and hand-harvesting that occurs just before the arrival of wasps. In years when the harvest does not meet our high standards, the decision is made not to produce, ensuring that only wines worthy of aging are bottled. The Company and Its Vineyards The vineyards, covering about ten hectares, are situated in the stony soils typical of the Friuli Grave area, along the eastern banks of the Malina stream. Located in the gentle countryside of Orzano, near Remanzacco, between Udine and Cividale del Friuli, the estate combines a rich history with modern winemaking techniques. Founded in 1967 and fully renovated in 2007, the cellar began as a passion project of the current owner’s father, producing clean, genuine wines for family and friends. Today, the vineyard yields around 45,000 bottles annually. These wines are produced with patience, adhering to organic farming principles, using Guyot training, and managing the environment with minimal impact. The soil, composed of alluvial gravels from the ancient Malina stream, along with a particular microclimate featuring high thermal variations and constant ventilation from pre-Alpine valleys, contributes to the unique character of the grapes. Harvesting is done by hand, with the grapes left on the vine as long as possible to maximize nutrient concentration through slight drying.

The Marina Danieli winery, located in Buttrio, Udine, sits at 130 meters above sea level within the picturesque Friuli Colli Orientali DOC zone.

The vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate, protected by the Pre-Alps and ventilated by the nearby sea. With a focus on preserving the land for future generations, the estate uses environmentally conscious practices, such as lightweight glass bottles and natural cork.
