Cantina Valpanera

We are a peasant family from Precenicco, winemakers since 1888. The first important change - today we would call it innovation - took place thanks to our parents, Vittorino and Anita. In fact, Dad was among the first in Friuli Venezia Giulia to understand the value of Refosco, one of the oldest of our native varieties and to which we have remained faithful. The decision to acquire the Valpanera company stems from this intuition: half of its 50 hectares of vineyards are Refosco. Areal, this - we are in the Doc Aquileia - unanimously considered the most suitable for this variety. Our peasant culture makes us say that, if this grape has been able to cross the centuries to reach the 21st century, it certainly has a strong character and an indomitable soul. Therefore, it is up to us to allow him to continue on his journey, combining tradition with the opportunities offered by modern knowledge. process of transformation of the grapes in total respect first of all of the individual vineyards, and then of the health of the wine. Using the most important and indispensable ingredient to achieve high quality: time. Abstract element that we transform into concrete action because only time allows the wine to express its potential.
