Merlot vine variety has existed in Friuli for over 500 years. We grow it in soils, a mixture of sandstone and fresh clay, with little skeleton. All that is followed by a classic interpretation that, despite being able to count on very old systems, plays with elegance and minerality, without invoking powers and concentrations, which can often be found in warmer areas or in crops that aim at exacerbating the concept.

Roi Clâr grapes come from mature and, in some cases, centennial vines. Our wine research aims at obtaining unusual and courageous products without at the same time abandoning their sense of good and health.
Our wines are not characterized by high volatile acidity; we always try to carefully manage and control all the possible oxidation-reduction phenomena.
The Linea Primo wines are crisp, straightforward, and intriguing but at the same time genuine, whereas the Linea Cru wines are complex, mature, honest, deep, soft, and mineral.
