Paradiis Winery

Paradiis Winery, owned by Emiliano Subacchi, was founded at the end of the 19th century and is today considered one of the most interesting wineries in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region of Italy. The estate extends across 25 hectares in Paradiso, a small hamlet in the municipality of Pocenia, ideally located between Udine and the seaside resort of Lignano Sabbiadoro.

Set in a territory rich in history, gastronomy, and cultural traditions, the winery benefits from a mild and breezy climate that has shaped its identity over generations. Under the guidance of Emiliano Subacchi, a passionate young winemaker, the estate has been modernized while preserving its deep connection to local winemaking traditions.

The vineyards thrive on the region’s characteristic “strong lands,” clay-rich soils that naturally limit yields and produce grapes with remarkable concentration and personality. Great attention is paid to each grape variety, with sustainable farming practices that exclude the use of herbicides during the ripening phase. The winery also employs modern equipment that helps reduce pesticide use while respecting both the environment and evolving agronomic practices.

Every stage of wine production is personally overseen by Emiliano, from vineyard management to vinification. The estate is divided between the cellar, where the wines are produced, aged, and bottled, and the “Frasca Paradiis,” a welcoming space dedicated to tastings and wine sales.

Driven by a desire to preserve and promote Friulian culture, Paradiis Winery collaborates with local gastronomic producers and offers visitors an authentic experience immersed in nature, tranquillity, and regional traditions. Surrounded by expansive green landscapes, the estate warmly welcomes guests to discover its wines, vineyards, and stories.

The wines of Paradiis reflect the unique terroir of Friuli Venezia Giulia, where vineyards nestled between the Adriatic Sea and the Friulian mountains benefit from constant sea breezes that bring freshness, elegance, and minerality to the grapes. Some of the estate’s vineyards are over 70 years old, contributing depth and character to the wines.

The winery follows a sustainable philosophy focused on respecting nature and preserving soil health. Chemical herbicides are avoided, while practices such as cover cropping are used to enrich the vineyards and encourage biodiversity naturally.

Most of the wines are fermented in stainless steel tanks, a choice that preserves the purity and authentic expression of each grape variety. The result is a portfolio of clean, honest, and expressive wines that showcase the true identity of the land and the Friulian winemaking tradition.
