Mostly from vineyards around Gorizia and San Floriano del Collio and Zegla, two zones which are geographically near to each other but enjoying quite distinct pedi-climatic features. The more exposed grapes in San Floriano produce more intense and structured wines while the grapes from Zegla result in markedly delicate and fragrant wines.
