Grillo Iole Tfvg 78688

An ancient 18th-century residence immersed in the vineyards of the Controlled Denomination of Origin Friuli Colli Orientali area, has been home to the Grillo Iole wine cellar for over forty years.
The company, founded in the early 1970s from the passion of the current owner’s father, counts on nine hectares of vineyard that extend mainly over the hills.
About 40,000 bottles are produced here every year, with low yields per hectare.
The native vines are privileged, among which the Schioppettino di Prepotto stands out as the protagonist of the valley.
The company manages the land trying not to damage the balance of the environment, using substances that preserve the natural antagonists that for centuries have controlled diseases and parasites of the vineyard and do not leave unwanted residues in the wines.
To best preserve the careful work done in the countryside, the company has an evocative cellar with ageing barriques in the manor house whose beautiful stone walls were brought to light by a restoration in the early 2000s.
There is also a well-kept bed & breakfast in the historic villa nestled in a landscape that sees a succession of villages, farmhouses and farms surrounded by vineyards.
For guests, there is the opportunity to visit food and wine itineraries, cycling routes and discover cultural destinations.
The company doors are always open to visit the wine cellar or a wine tasting in the enchanting terrace overlooking the vineyards.
