Nestled in the hills of Friuli Colli Orientali, bordering Slovenia to the northeast, the 68 hectares of Rodaro vineyards stand as a testament to meticulous and sustainable viticulture. The thriving bee population within these vineyards serves as a clear indicator of a vital and harmonious ecosystem, a quality evident in the terraced landscapes situated between Bosco Romagno and Rocca Bernarda, at elevations of 130 to 180 meters above sea level. Benefiting from optimal sun exposure and a distinctive microclimate, largely due to the ponca (flysch) soil – an alternating strata of marl (calcareous clay) and sandstone – the Rodaro estate exemplifies the ideal environment for premium viticulture, a characteristic historically associated with the Collio and Colli Orientali regions. The consistent ventilation, derived from both dry Balkan air and Adriatic breezes, minimizes humidity and promotes healthy grape development, while the diurnal temperature variation, amplified by the hillside location, enhances the complex aromatic profiles expressed in the wines.
