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