The Territory Collio: One of the Most Unique White Wine
Regions of the World
Tucked into the far northeast corner of Italy, the region of Collio is a curve of bright and sunny hills, slopes and terraces amidst the province of Friuli Venezia Giulia on the border of Slovenia and between the Julian Alps and the Adriatic Sea. Collio enjoys a mild climate with summers that are hot but not stifling and winters that are cold and often rainy, although this year’s month of May was the wettest since May 1973. Dramatic diurnal temperature shifts and local winds create a unique micro-climate. Thanks to the warm currents from the Adriatic Sea, grapes are kept dry and the mountains to the north protect the region from cold winds. The unique soil, termed Ponca, consists of layered marl and sandstone that offer elements of minerality and salinity to the wines. As you may expect, grapevines thrive in this natural environment.
The Castle | Wine Resort
Starlit skies and the calming sounds of nature – nothing more. The Castle Wine Resort, is where you can rekindle with your inner self without renouncing the privilege of the resort facilities and the wonderful views of the estate and castle.
Gastronomy
Superb food and wine in Italy’s less frequented north east
A cultural melting pot of Italian and central European influences, from rich mountain fare to the freshest seafood.Some of the finest wines in Italy are from the gently rolling Collio hills. A full spectrum of gastronomic experiences, from cheese and ham at the tables of their producers to the region’s finest 2* Michelin restaurant.
