Who is credited for modernizing and cleaning up Friulian winemaking?
Mario Schiopetto

Who is this producer?
Ronchi di Cialla
- Cialla subzone of Colli Orientali del Friuli Picolit DOCG is a monopole of Ronchi di Cialla
Who is this producer?
Gravner
- Breg and Ribolla Gialla share this label
Breg - the classic Gravner blend of Riesling Italico, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon and Chardonnay, fermented separately but blended and aged together
Ribolla Gialla
Who is this producer?
Gravner
Same label as Breg Rosso and Rosso Rujno
- Breg Rosso - 100% native Pignolo grape
- Rosso Rujno - a selection of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon produced only in the finest vintages in very limited quantity (1700 bottles); a five week cuvaison in open oak vats
Describe this wine
8.9.10: The third rarity in this round of new releases, Gravner’s mind-bending “8.9.10” is the scarcest of them all. In the vintages 2008, 2009, and 2010, Josko painstakingly selected individual bunches of Ribolla based on their perfection of botrytis and allowed them to hang until well into November, picking them at towering sugar levels and meager levels of juice. This wine, aged in small used barrels and bottled in 2015, combines the juice from all three of those vintages into an elixir both massively sweet and shockingly complex

- Legend has it that in the year 800 the hermit Alemanno settled on the Rosazzo hill for a spiritual retreat. About two hundred years later, in the same place, the Augustinians taught the local populations to cultivate the land and, still in the same place, the first traces of the Pignolo vine were found, dating back to the late 18th century. Known as Pignul in Friulian dialect, fragile with low productivity, it was on the verge of extinction in the late 19th century, but was later rediscovered and recovered – once again, at Rosazzo. The confident, soulful grapes of Eremita are wild at heart, with a historical value branded on the memory of our area.

“After the fall of fascism and World War II, it took nearly a decade to decide on the border between Italy and Yugoslavia—a border so arbitrary that it reportedly split some farms and vineyards in half, with one side Italian and the other side Yugoslav. Today, many producers have vineyards on both the Italian side and the Slovenian side. The regions often have parallel names on the two sides of the border: Collio Goriziano becomes (blank), and Carso becomes (blank).”
