Anna Berra

The winery, located in Ramandolo, a small hamlet in the municipality of Nimis in the province of Udine, was founded in 1980 thanks to the passion of Anna Berra. Today, it is Ivan, her son, who manages all the operations of the winery, from the vineyard to the cellar.

The distinctive wine of the area is the Ramandolo DOCG, produced through late harvesting, usually in November, followed by a short maceration on the skins.

Anna Berra

The vineyards are cultivated using cutting-edge techniques, without the use of chemical herbicides, and following a philosophy aligned with the principles of organic farming.

The winery spans over 5.5 hectares of vineyards, bearing witness to the family's commitment to producing quality wines, closely tied to the territory and respectful of the environment.

Friuli Venezia Giulia

Friuli-Venezia Giulia has always been the land of great whites and has achieved extraordinary fame for what some call the "superwhites."

Recently, Friuli Venezia Giulia was the battleground for a community-level dispute with Hungary regarding the right to continue calling the wine produced with the Tocai Friulano grape "Tocai," causing confusion with the well-known Hungarian sweet wine Tokaji. Italy lost the case in 2007, and since 2011 wines produced with Tocai Friulano are respectively called "Friulano" in Friuli Venezia Giulia and "Tai" in Veneto.

The region is divided into a mountainous area to the north, hilly terrain in the pre-Alpine arc, an alluvial plain, and a coastal area.
The northern part of the plain is suitable for the cultivation of white grape varieties, while the southern part is more favorable for black grape varieties.
To the east, in the area bordering Slovenia, the plain extends to the foothills of the Karst: here viticulture is challenging due to the limestone rocks eroded by water, and often it is only possible on terraces supported by retaining walls made of sandstone blocks called "pastini."

Colli Orientali

The DOC Friuli Colli Orientali extends over a territory that covers the central-eastern area of the Province of Udine, near the border with Slovenia. The soils of the Colli Orientali are composed of alternating layers of marl (limestone clays) and sandstone (calcified sands), called "ponca" in Friulian.
The easy erodibility of the predominantly marly soils has led to a gentle terrain, with elevations below 200 meters above sea level. Everywhere there are terraces. Here, the "Superwhites" are born, a definition that suits well a denomination that includes 12 types of white wines and the "dolce", to which 11 reds are added.

The controlled denomination of Friuli Colli Orientali boasts five subzones called respectively: Cialla, Pignolo di Rosazzo, Ribolla Gialla di Rosazzo, Schioppettino di Prepotto, and Refosco di Faedis.
The magic of the Friuli Colli Orientali DOC is reflected in its ponca soils, where superb white wines and enchanting reds are born.

Prosciutto and figs

By selecting from the many refined Italian cured meats available, you can create a dish for appetizers that's incredibly satisfying. The saltiness of the prosciutto, more or less pronounced depending on the sweet or savory version chosen, balances the sweetness of the figs and, combined with the wine, creates an unforgettable gustatory balance and an explosion of flavors.

Gubana cake

Typical Friulian sweet with a snail shape, made of sweet leavened dough, filled with walnuts, raisins, pine nuts, sugar, grappa, and grated lemon zest. A dessert with a rich structure, intense in aromas and flavors, slightly sweet but not too much.
