Soc. Agricola Ferruccio Sgubin

Ferruccio Sgubin is a family-run winery and hospitality destination located in Mernico, in the heart of Collio, where wine, food, and genuine Friulian hospitality come together. Rooted in the values passed down through generations, the Sgubin family welcomes visitors with the same care and passion that guide their work in the vineyards and cellar.

The estate extends over approximately 18 hectares of vineyards across the Collio hills, an exceptional wine-growing area characterized by distinctive mineral soils and a favorable microclimate. Vineyard work follows an artisanal approach, with careful manual practices and close attention to the natural rhythms of the vines.

Sustainability and biodiversity are central to the winery's philosophy. The family works to preserve soil health and the long-term balance of the vineyard ecosystem, while precision and minimal intervention in the cellar allow the grapes to retain their authentic character.

Visitors can discover this philosophy through the estate's cellar, vineyards, and tasting experiences, immersed in a warm atmosphere that reflects the Sgubin family's strong connection to its land.

The wines of Ferruccio Sgubin are created to express the identity and diversity of Collio, with particular attention to native and traditional grape varieties such as Friulano and Ribolla Gialla, alongside other varieties that have long found an ideal home in these hills.

A defining feature of the winery's approach is micro-vinification. The vineyards are divided into small individual parcels, which are vinified separately to preserve the distinctive characteristics created by differences in soil, exposure, and microclimate.

Rather than imposing a predetermined style, the cellar work focuses on careful, minimal intervention, allowing each variety and vineyard to speak for itself. This parcel-by-parcel approach results in wines with a strong sense of place, highlighting the minerality, complexity, and individual nuances of the Collio terroir.

Each bottle is therefore not only an expression of its grape variety, but also of the specific vineyard from which it originates, reflecting Ferruccio Sgubin's commitment to authenticity, precision, and territorial identity.
