FRIULI

SCUBLA
SCUBLA IS A NEW NAME IN THE FRIULI WINE INDUSTRY. THE PROPERTY, ALREADY PRODUCING WINES WHEN PURCHASED BY ROBERTO SCUBLA, IS LOCATED AMONG THE SWEET HILLS NAMED “COLLI ORIENTALI DEL FRIULI”, AND “ROCCA BERNARDI” IS THE NAME OF THE SINGLE VINEYARD. THE SPECIAL MICROCLIMATE THAT THESE HILLS HAVE AND THE COMPOSITION OF THE SOIL, MADE OF OCEANIC MARNES; ARE THE MAJOR ELEMENTS FOR PRODUCING WINES OF EXCELLENT QUALITY AND CHARACTER. THE CONSULTANT IS THE OENOLIGIST DR. GIANNI MENOTTI OF VILLA RUSSIZ, A GOOD FRIEND OF ROBERTO. BETWEEN THE OWNER’S PASSION AND THE EXPERTISE OF THE CONSULTANT, THIS WINERY MAKES OUTSTANDING WINES RATED AMONG THE BEST IN FRIULI.

LE VIGNE ZAMO
THE ZAMO FAMILY HAS ALWAYS LOVED WINE AND IN 1924 THEY OPENED AN INN IN MANZANO, RUN BY LUIGI, FATHER OF TULLIO AND GRANDFATHER OF PIER LUIGI AND SILVANO. THE PEOPLE OF THE VILLAGE (NOW BETTER KNOWN FOR THE CHAIR INDUSTRY RATHER THAN THE MAGNIFICENT VINEYARDS OF THE SURROUNDING HILLSIDES) RECALL PIERLUIGI’S BIRTH VERY FONDLY...THE WINE FLOWED AND FLOWED ON THAT DAY! BUT THE REAL STORY BEGAN IN 1978 WITH THE PURCHASE OF VIGNE DAL LEON. THE ZAMO FAMILY’S AIMS WERE SIMPLE: THE PRODUCTION OF GOOD QUALITY WINE FOR DRINKING WITH FRIENDS, AND THE SATISFACTION OF CREATING DISTINGUISHED WINES WORTHY OF COMPARISON WITH THE FINEST OF THEIR TYPE. THE LEGENDARY FRANCO BERNABEI IS THE CONSULTANT WINE MAKER.
