About Winery and Wines

Before the tasting, before the harvest, before the vines... before everything, there is respect. Respect for the land, for the wind, for the woods, for the men and women who came before us. Wine is un conditional respect for the past. Of course research, innovation and enthusiasm drive our actions and are pivotal to the growth of our winery. But we make wine, that's our mission and our passion. Our wine stems from the respect for our ponca (soil made of stratified marl and sandstone from the Eocene epoch), our soil, which is between 38 and 58 million years old and has nurtured the autochthonous grapevines grown here in the Oriental Hills of Friuli for millennia. It is with this heritage and from these traditions that our winery was founded in 1973. Since then Viarte has grown from strength to strength, our team has grown with it, our commitment to excellence in winemaking will never change. Quality that comes from the scrupulous care for our land and from experimenting with innovative, natural procedures that let us effectively manage the hydro-nutritive balance of our vines in order to encourage natural fertility. All of this is thanks to our instinctive passion for the environment we live in, which is perfectly expressed in the identity of our wine.
