Bianco Quinto Quarto
From a single vineyard in the Monte Calvario at 150m above sea level planted on a soil locally called “Ponka”, clay-filled marl which was originally part of the Eocene sea bed. Spontaneous fermentation, about a week skin contact and aged for 8 months in stainless steel. The wine shows some cloudiness but the colour is vivid and alive. Phoenolic sweetness and brightness.

Rosso IGT 'Stamas'
It is a red cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon (20%) and Merlot (80%)… the maceration takes place for approx. 20 days, after which the wine is aged for a year in wooden barrels, followed by flow into stainless steel, where it remains for a year, immediately after that it goes into the bottle , and when Franco decides it goes on sale itself.
The wine has a playful ruby color, and the range of aromas is divine…ripe red fruit, marmalade, forest undergrowth, a slight almost undetectable vanilla, in the background we find a slight pepper and a note of coffee and tobacco. The tannin is still very playful but very soft, fresh, with a nicely accentuated minerality, with a pleasant aftertaste reminiscent of forest fruit jam, which lasts and lasts. A wine that promises a lot of pleasure.

Franco Terpin
If you look at Franco’s hands, they will tell you the story of a man and a farmer attached to his land. 10 hectares in San Floriano del Collio, just few yards from the Slovenian border, farmed organically where he grows all the traditional Friuli’s varietals, both indigenous and international. A very natural approach to vinification, with skin maceration for the whites and long macerations for the red, creates wines the reflect Terpin’s character and statuesque appearance: broad, genuine and generous.
