Vineyard Notes
The Isonzo River formed the Isonzo plain, giving it a reddish clay layer rich in iron oxides and minerals. The high Julian Alps to the north protect Gorizia from cold winds, while the nearby warm Adriatic Sea creates a temperate climate. The Vipacco Valley’s cooler nights help develop the wine’s intense and elegant aromas, allowing the vines to thrive in the area’s excellent soil.
In 2013, these ancient vineyards produced grapes using natural, sustainable methods. By combining traditional farming practices with modern technology, they achieve low yields that result in exceptional wines.
Everyone has people, moments, places, and things that deserve love. With this in mind, we hope you enjoy the superb and delicious Amandum wines.
