Venica Venica Wine Resort Vignaioli Dal 1930 Tfvg 156949

Since 1930, when Daniele Venica bought the main part of the company, more than 90 years have passed that have seen four generations of his family follow one another in harmonious management.

Almost a century of history and energies dedicated to giving continuity to past legacies, in respect of this land, its vineyards and grapes.

The company’s development was strengthened in particular in the 1970s when, starting from 1972, the Venica family was among the first in Friuli to offer the direct sale of their white and red wines on the farm.

Until then it was only sold to taverns and trattorias of Gorizia and Cividale. In 1976 Gianni Venica discovered and applied the white vinification method and, the following year, Venica wines were bottled for the first time.

The 1980s were marked by an intense export activity and the opening of the agritourism’s first unit.

Today, the Company Venica&Venica covers 40 hectares planted with vineyards, all in the Controlled Denomination of Origin Collio area. Depending on the season and the harvest, it produces approximately 320 thousands bottles per year.

Over 85% are whites - Ronco delle Mele and Toblar among the most awarded and appreciated - and the remaining 15% are reds. 

Over 55% of Venica wines are sold in Italy while the rest are exported to countries such as Germany, the United States, Japan and Korea.

Respect for the territory and its history have also shaped the company’s appearance that, between 2015 and 2016, saw the renovation of the historical wine cellar in Dolegna del Collio designed by the architect Carola Nitsch, from a concept of Ornella Venica.
