For over 50 years the vineyards and winery have been producing quality wines just outside the municipality of Prepotto in the far northeastern part of Italy (about 30 miles from Trieste and right across the border from Slovenia). In 2017 the ownership was taken over by Riccardo Caliari and his wife Faten. Their first harvest took place in 2018 and their first wines came to market in 2019. After taking the reins, Riccardo and his wife dedicated themselves to the vines. They added 4 hectares of vineyard to the property, and then improved their tasting capabilities by renovating the barrel cellar. The couple is dedicated to respecting the land. The grapes are harvested manually in boxes, and they use only environmentally-conscious pest control. They also take no shortcuts when it comes to production. For white wines the juice is cold decanted and fermented in cement tanks at a controlled temperature. A small portion goes through a quick maceration on the skins. The refinement takes place in concrete tanks for 10 months. For their red wines, aging takes place in earthenware amphora pots (made of a mix of terra cotta and ceramic) which are used to amplify the qualities of the wine.
