Producer I Clivi

FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA

The I Clivi company was born in Friuli between the Collio Goriziano and the Colli Orientali where, and the name comes from the gentle sunny slopes found in this area. The company was founded by Ferdinando Zanusso in the late 1990s, when he bought a small two-hectare vineyard with old vines on the southern slope of Monte Quarin. From the outset, the path of territoriality was taken, to let the terroir speak through the grapes. Today the winery is led by his son Mario, who cultivates twelve hectares of old vines under certified organic conditions, aged between sixty and over eighty years, where we find native vines such as Ribolla Gialla, Friulano, Verduzzo and Malvasia Istriana . The production areas are two distinct DOCs, Collio and Colli Orientali del Friuli, whose sensory difference is exclusively linked to the microclimate. Wines with a great personality.
