Wine cellar and producer curiosities
The Artisan of the Collio: Paolo Caccese is a true icon of Friuli Collio. His small winery in Pradis, a hamlet of Cormòns, works with a strictly artisanal approach, enhancing individual grape varieties and the unique terroir of ponca (the typical clay-limestone soil of the area).
The Reds of the Collio: Although Collio is world-famous for its great whites, red Bordeaux-origin varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Franc found an ideal habitat in these hills since the 19th century, delivering wines of great elegance and pronounced personality.
