Today, the La Viarte estate extends over 41 hectares, distributed in two hillside holdings between 80 and 180 metres above sea level. These splendid east-facing slopes are situated in the municipalities of Corno di Rosazzo and Prepotto, a few hundred metres from the border with Slovenia.

The soil here is known as “ponca”. Its origins lie in the Tertiary era, 58 to 38 million years ago, when a slow process of sedimentation created massive geological formations that gradually emerged from the receding sea. The present-day deposits are formed by alternating strata of marl (calcareous clay) and sandstone (calcified sand) with a highly characteristic appearance.

The land is extraordinarily well-suited for viticulture by reason of both its configuration and its composition. La Viarte vines cover a total of 25 hectares and are planted at high densities (3,000-7,000 vines per hectare). Yields per hectare are well below the levels permitted by the production regulations.

Fastidious care and attention in the vineyard culminates in the manual selection of the bunches at harvest so that the cellar can vinify only perfectly healthy, ripe fruit...

...time rounds out the wine’s personality, bringing it to a perfect balance of sensations.
