1896:
Collavini's family enological history
begins. Eugenio, the founder, supplies
the best udinese's families with his wines
without ever imagining that a century later
they would reach the world over.
1970:
a first innovative turn in the area of
sparkling wines takes the winery to the
peak of notoriety with Ribolla
Gialla Brut, result of a careful
research and an original method. This
sides Il Grigio, already diffused
in the markets and appreciated for the
blend of Prosecco and Chardonnay.
In those years the possessions are enriched
with the acquisition of an old manor of
the XVI century in Corno di Rosazzo
to become the family's residence and the
cellars.
1980:
Collavini's operations are all combined
in this prestigious residence and Manlio,
the present owner, enlarges the varieties
of DOC's production, pledges important
investments for evolved and functional
structures to enhance the standards of
efficiency and quality.
1996:
the true quality turn takes place with
a comprehensive pogram that goes from
loyalty of the growers that provide the
grapes supervised and controlled by an
agronomist in the running of the vineyards,
to the upgrading of the structures that
take account of soft pressing and temperatre
controlled vinification.
Investments
and technology, strict criteria's of characteristics
and love for Friuli, place today
the winery to the peak of the territory's
production with further space for growth
and success.
