Winery and producer notes
The Artisan of the Collio: Paolo Caccese is a true icon of the Collio in Friuli. His small estate at Pradis, a hamlet of Cormòns, works with a strictly artisanal approach, enhancing the individual varieties and the unique terroir of ponca (the typical clay-sandstone marl soil of the area).
The Reds of the Collio: Although Collio is world-renowned for its great whites, red Bordeaux-origin grape varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Franc found an ideal habitat in these hills since the nineteenth century, producing wines of great elegance and pronounced personality.
