average gradient).

2 to 3 tons of fully ripened, handpicked grapes per hectare (0.8 to 1,25 tons per acre).
P r o d u c t i o n
Max production possible : up to 80,000 bottles per year; current output: approx.40,000 bottles per year. Only one white and a red one are produced in each DOC district (one vineyard, one wine), i.e. Brazan (Collio DOC): 7-10,000 bottles white (Tocai/Malvasia blend) and 2-3,000 red (Merlot). Galea (Colli Or.del Friuli DOC): 12-16,000 white (Tocai/Verduzzo blend) and 4-6,000 red (Merlot).
F e r m e n t a t i o n
In stainless steel, at controlled cool temperatures. Activated and conducted by the grapes' own yeasts only,
including naturally-occurring malolactic fermentation. For whites no pellicular maceration and slow fermentation
to January/February. For reds, 4 to 5 weeks maceration and moderate remontages.
C e l l a r t r e a t m e n t
Time is the main treatment. No inoculations of yeasts or chemical agents for stimulating or speeding up
fermentation. The wine is left on its lees for at least two years to stabilize - in the following autumn it may ferment again to burn off one or two grams of residual sugar - and clarify, then it is bottled and laid down for some months, being offered for sale at minimum three years of age. No racking, no oak (white wine), no filtering. Bottling is done by hand - both filling and corking.
Along with the vineyards (12 ha.) and 6 ha. of woodlands, the sale includes as well the house (450sq.m.), the cellar (270sq.m.) fully equipped for the vinification process and the professional machinery but not the trademarks.
