"The fascinating feminine Isonzo wines and the powerful and masculine ones from Collio"
Ronco Dei Tassi
THE ESTATE The land extends over 20 hectares of which 12 are under vine and the remainder woodland. Located in Collio Goriziano, in the village of Cormòns, at an altitude ranging from 140 to 200 metres above sea level and to the furthest extent of the nature reserve at Plessiva, this is a protected environment.
Rich in naturally occuring flora (oak, robinia, chestnut, birch, hornbeam) and wild animals (boar, roe deer, wolves, badgers) that live undisturbed in this idea habitat, this is one of the most tranquil spots of the Goriziano hillside.
The name of the estate is derived from the predilection of local badger colonies to guzzle the sweetest bunches of grapes as they ripen; they particularly favour vines situated in exposed terraces, known as “ronchi”, hence Ronco dei Tassi. > More

Colmello di Grotta
The wine estate was refounded this background in 1965, thanks to the drive and enthusiasm of Luciana Bennati, who renovated an old and abandoned hamlet in a very short space of time, whilst fully respecting all the local traditions. Besides the offices and the guardian's house, she also created quarters for guests, converted an old kitchen into a small tasting room, she built a cellar for ageing in wood casks, besides another functional and extremely modern cellar for making and storing the wine. She purposely kept it small and intimate, but of exceptionally high quality, for the pleasure of family, friends and a few very fortunate customers. > More
