Collavini

Eugenio Collavini started the business in Rivignano in 1896, supplying his first wines to well-off families in Udine. It passed to his son Giovanni, then to Manlio, who moved the headquarters to Corno di Rosazzo. The winery now sits in a sixteenth-century fortified settlement, in the villa of the Counts Zuccus di Cuccanéa.

Ribolla Gialla is the grape the house keeps returning to. Collavini planted the Turian vineyard next to the property from an ancient selection of it, and the Turian white comes from the Clò Turian site, the company's oldest. At the end of the 1970s Manlio launched the first sparkling Ribolla Gialla. The Collavini Method makes it in horizontal pressurized tanks, with the wine maturing for over 30 months.

Manlio also created Il Grigio in 1973. Broy, the top wine, blends Friulano, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Pignolo is a red from indigenous grapes dried on trays for 20 days, then aged about five years in barriques.
