Villa Bogdano is an agricultural and winemaking estate with almost 500 years of history, that has been recently acquired by a private and independent family with the aim of producing state of the art wines, favouring autochthonous varieties and preserving biodiversity.

The terroir here is unique.

The winery is located in Lison di Portogruaro, between the Friuli Alps and the Adriatic coast, where the mountains are closest to the sea, ideal for natural daily breezes.
All harvested grapes reach the winery in a few minutes. The alluvial soil is calcareous and rich in organic substances and micro elements. It underlies a thick stratum of clay, that reaches 53% in some places. Although the superficial clay is hard, extremely difficult to work, and gives very low yields, the benefits of such a terroir are enormous as it produces wines with an intense bouquet, smoothness, elegance of tannins and so much more.

Renato Vezza is not a winemaker. He is a wine artist, an insatiable perfectionist full of ambition and great ideas. Renato started his project (Bricco Ernesto) just a few years ago and in the blink of an eye he has become one of the most followed producers in the region. His global reputation is skyrocketing and for good reasons. His wines are pure, expressive and full or character. They are produced in limited quantities following organic viticolture and with meticulous attention in the cellar.

The majority of Renato’s wines are reserved and sold years in advance and top sommeliers from the world best restaurants often visit the winery to meet him, see the vineyard and learn more about the work in his (tiny) cellar.

Meet CHIARA CONDELLO

At UVenoteca we love wines that tell a story. The story of a family, their land, local traditions and remarkable achievements.

Chiara grew up in Fiumana di Predappio near her family winery Condé, which was founded by her father Francesco Condello back in 2001. She studied Economics at Bocconi University in Milan and then, at the age of 24, she took over her family estate fully committed to not only preserve her family business, but also to elevate the reputation of the Sangiovese grape to new heights.

A few years ago Chiara commenced an exciting new project under her own name. The “Chiara Condello” selection consists of two 100% Sangiovese wines: a ‘normale’ called Romagna Sangiovese Predappio and her increasingly famous Riserva ‘Le Lucciole’.

Chiara's first vintage was 2015 and since then her reputation soared to the extent that today her wines are featured on the wine lists of some of the finest restaurants in the world.

Chiara’s wines are made in Predappio from some of the best plots in the Family vineyards, close to a forest where the vines are deeply rooted in calcareous-clay soil rich in sedimentary sandstones called “spugnone” and fossil marines. Farming is organic, with meticulous focus on biodiversity and the quality of the grapes.

In the cellar, Chiara follows a minimal intervention approach with spontaneous fermentation in open-top wooden vats with indigenous yeast and ageing in large neutral vessels.

The resulting wines are pure and expressive, richly textured and deeply layered with tannins of rare elegance.

MEET RAMBO-ZAMBO!

It’s time to get serious about Alto Piemonte wines 💥

Here is Fabio Zambolin (we call him “Rambo-Zambo” to pay homage to his bravery and resilience). Everyone who has had the privilege of spending an afternoon with him would say that he is one of the nicest and most inspiring winemakers you could ever meet. Fabio own a small winery in Cossato, just a few meters from the acclaimed Lessona designation. He cultivates local varieties (mostly Nebbiolo, Vespolina, Creatina) in a few small parcels in the area following natural viticolture and minimal intervention practices in the cellar.

Fabio’s story is truly inspiring. A few years ago, after working many years for another winery in the area, Fabio inherited a space slightly bigger than a garage from his grandparents. The decision to turn that space into a winery was the most obvious to make.

Fabio’s wine are fresh and pure. Full of personality and character, yet easy to drink.
