A few facts about the winery and producer
The Artisan of Collio: Paolo Caccese is a true icon of the Friulian Collio. His small estate in Pradis, a hamlet of Cormòns, follows a strictly artisanal approach, showcasing individual grape varieties and the unique terroir of ponca (the area’s characteristic marl and sandstone soil).
Collio’s red wines: Although Collio is renowned worldwide for its outstanding white wines, Bordeaux-origin red grape varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Franc have found an ideal home in these hills since the 19th century, producing wines of great elegance and distinctive character.
