The name Monviert originates from the church, which has watched over our 87 hectares for centuries. In Friulian, the language of our land, it means "open mountain" because the "mountain" that hosts it gives an "open" view. Located between the Julian Alps, which protect them from the cold northern winds, and the Adriatic Sea, which brings to them the warmth of the Mediterranean breeze, the Colli Orientali del Friuli have an ideal micro-climate for the production of red and white wines, which allows a slow and gradual maturation of the grapes. We have four vineyards: -Bivio Romanut: Located in the upper part of the Bivio hill, the vineyard, less than one hectare, can count on continuous ventilation from the mountains and on a sun exposure that provides high luminosity. From the marly terrain facing south-southeast we produce a modern Ribolla, which is a prime example of a “hillside wine”. -Col Rusal: On the top of Col Rusal, 1.8 hectares of vineyards nestling in the finest “ponca” soil (marl and sandstone), are caressed by the breeze off Mount Matajur and receive full sunlight all day long, providing ideal conditions for ripening the Schioppettino grape. An ancient native grape variety that expresses all its engaging and elegant character in the Monviert vineyard. In the middle of Col Rusal, surrounded to the west and north by deciduous forests 1.4 hectares of vineyards produce Sauvignon Monviert, which here find the ideal micro-climatic conditions for preserving its characteristic aromas. -Fornalis, a vineyard with 25 year old vines, full of quality and “wisdom.” Less than a hectare of marly/clayey soil, with an exposure that captures the first rays of the morning and keeps them until the afternoon: lying on a hill, well-ventilated and away from humidity of the valley floor in the evening and early morning, Fornalis hosts the plants of the Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso. -Monviert: Watched over by the small church on the top of the hill, the vineyard where the Friulano grows is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the greatest number of hours / light possible. The 2.4 hectares of marly soil watch the sunset, thus capturing the very last glimmers of light before nightfall. The natural ventilation of the Valle del Natisone does the rest, thus providing the perfect conditions for the Friulano grape variety.
