The MANZONI BIANCO is a splendid grape variety created by Prof. Manzoni in the 1930s at the Conegliano School of Oenology. This cross between the delicate aromatic and mineral character of Riesling and the harmony of Pinot Bianco gives rise to an extraordinary grape variety, characterised by a low yield and a tough skin. Thanks to the gentle maceration process, it boasts an intense yellow colour, a pleasant bouquet reminiscent of yellow flowers and fruit, a lingering finish and an excellent balance of acidity and glycerine. It is an infinitely enjoyable wine thanks to its youthful character, yet as assertive as the grape varieties from which it is made.

On the palate, it is lively and dynamic, enhanced by a pleasant tension that invites another sip.

The SAUVIGNON is a grape variety that, in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, has developed an aromatic expression that is truly unique when compared to other parts of the world. Its name originates in south-western France and is derived from "sauvage" (wild), indicating its connection with the wild wine variety. It offers hints of fresh herbs and elderflower, but also features a beautiful core of ripe fruit. As a variety that does not thrive in overly hot conditions, it finds an ideal environment on the hills of Blanchis, where it expresses its character at its very best. It is a wine of remarkable depth, tempting and easy to enjoy, yet also quite polarising due to its aromatic profile. It is like someone with a strong personality, you either love them or hate them. And for us, it is always a great love!

CHABLIS is a wonderful and complex wine among the great wines of Burgundy. It stands out for its unique organoleptic characteristics, especially the pronounced minerality on the nose and palate. These traits come from the soil dating back to the Jurassic period (Kimmeridgian), rich in marine fossils over 140 million years old. A crystal-clear appearance, hints of white flowers, citrus notes, and mineral tension — the range we present captures in both appearance and flavor all the colors and aromas of a radiant and flourishing Burgundy.
All vineyards of Chablis George Dechamps are organically farmed, but what truly defines these wines is the strong identity and personality of the local soils.

The TORCHIATO DI FREGONA produced from the appassimento (drying process) of the three native grape varieties of Glera, Verdiso, and Boschera. According to the legend, in the 1600s, a winemaker was forced to harvest grapes before they were fully ripe due to an early frost. He laid the grapes on racks in his attic. The following spring, he was surprised to find the grapes had become incredibly sweet, yet hardened from the drying process. He decided to press them several times and left the resulting must to rest in small barrels, without much expectation. A year later, the first tasting lit up the farmer’s face — he realized he had discovered an extraordinary wine. Thus, Torchiato di Fregona was born.
The production of Torchiato di Fregona follows an ancient method. According to the official production regulations, no chemical additives are allowed — everything is done by harnessing the seasons, the unique microclimate of the Fregona area, and the winemaker’s experience.
