Venica & Venica
Venica & Venica has been established in 1930. It is still a family-owned estate with 28 hectares of vines in Collio, near the Slovenian border.
Today the winery is one of Friuli’s most famous and respected estates. It is well-known for making highly textural and aromatic whites that use little to no wood.
Venica & Venica’s vineyards are spread over 7 different hills. They are located from 300-400 meters above sea level — each with its own distinct micro-climate.
This great terroir provides unique characteristics to each of the vines and creates a wine of great complexity.
