Tenuta Villanova

Italy

Founded in 1499, Tenuta Villanova is the longest-living winery of Friuli Venezia Giulia. The estate covers approximately 200 hectares, reaching from the high of the Isonzo river to the hills of Collio, both considered to be the home of the region’s most premium vineyards. In 1932, the property was acquired by Arnaldo Bennati. Today it is run by his wife Giuseppina Grossi and her niece, Francesca.

Respecting the region’s tradition while at the same time applying new viticultural elements to preserve the environment, Tenuta Villanova expresses the art of wine a few steps away from Gorizina, a city where the art of lacemaking took place. The labels pay homage to the bobbin lace, a form of art highly appreciated by collectors around the world. The style of the wines emphasizes their birthplace and are a perfect match to a wide range of food pairings.

Wines

Tenuta Villanova Pinot Grigio Ramato DOC Isonzo · Profile

The Pinot Grigio wines from Friuli are unrivalled in Italy in terms of complexity, richness, and character. Manually harvested, the grapes undergo a temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel with very little intervention. The must is left overnight on the skins to extract the distinctive natural coppery hue (“ramato”) as well as more complex flavours than one gets from the lighter, crispier style of Pinot Grigio from other regions.
