Today, it manages 44 hectares located in the hilly area around Gorizia, characterized by a mild and always breezy climate. The Ribolla Gialla vineyards are found in the most suitable areas of the estate for the cultivation of the grape variety, characterized by poor soils, predominantly composed of limestone marls and sandstones of Eocene origin, derived from the uplift and emergence of ancient marine seabeds. Harvest takes place around mid-September at full ripeness of the grapes. The best bunches are pressed very gently. The free-run must ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 15-17 °C. The wine matures for four months in steel tanks on the lees with periodic bâtonnage, which help enrich the aromas and structure of the Ribolla Gialla.
