Cantina Rossi
Eight hectares in the Colli Orientali del Friuli, worked by the same family for three generations. Long-macerated whites and reds that ask for time.
Three generations on the same eight hectares
The winery was founded in 1948, when our grandfather bought his first row of vines in Cividale del Friuli. The boundaries have not moved since: eight hectares, all on the same hillside, harvested by hand because no tractor climbs that slope.
Little work in the cellar, and a lot of waiting. Spontaneous fermentations, large Slavonian oak casks, no shortcuts. The whites stay on their skins as long as it takes; the reds leave after three years, not before.
There are few bottles and they go quickly: we sell in Italy, and in Italy only, because what we have is barely enough.
