Territorial wines, biodiversity and hospitality
In the heart of the Colli Orientali del Friuli, between the Julian Alps and the Adriatic Sea, a prestigious organic and biodynamic wine estate of approximately 80 hectares is available.
The property is located in the area of Savorgnano del Torre, a territory currently under evaluation by the Ministry of Agriculture for recognition as a new wine-growing microzone.
This is a landscape of remarkable value, known for its Eocene soils called “Ponca”, among the most suitable in Europe for producing highly mineral white wines.

From a strategic perspective, estates like this occupy a fascinating niche in the wine world. The combination of Ponca soils, mature vineyards, organic certification, and hospitality potential places the property exactly where modern wine markets are drifting: smaller production, strong territorial identity, and experiential tourism wrapped around authentic landscapes. In regions like Friuli, that formula often generates value far beyond the vineyard rows themselves.
