Giorgio Nicolini

Muggia (TS) - FRIULI VENEZIA-GIULIA

Giorgio Nicolini is a small family vineyard, run in accordance with old traditions inherited from grandparents. Much of their effort is devoted to replanting old native varieties, which are now almost completely lost, using the original 100-year clones from their vineyard.

The vines are 20/30 years old, and they grow manly on clay soil with marine sediments. The treatments in the vineyard are kept to minimum, avoiding the use of systemic products. The same approach is kept in their tiny cellar, where the wines are fermented with indigenous yeasts, no filtrations and only a small amount of sulphites is added.

The main varieties used are Malvasia Istriana, Vitovska, Moscato Giallo and Refosco. Natural winemaking practices are followed in both the vineyard and the cellar. The wines are great expressions of place, history and the family who makes them.
