The Story

The place where the Visintini company stands has a history dating back to the Middle Ages 1290, located on the hills south of the DOC Friuli Colli Orientali area on the border with the DOC Collio bordering the provinces of Udine and Gorizia.
Various vicissitudes led Domenico Visintini to purchase the Castle of Gramogliano in 1884. In 1915, the Castle passed by succession to two of his sons: Umberto. The latter became the legitimate owner of the castle and began farming. In 1973, Umberto thought that the time had come to pass the reins to
his son Andrea, who since then would have given impetus and the and the wine tradition is increasingly valued. In 2002, the company passed into the hands of the children Oliviero, Cinzia and Palmira, thus continuing the business started many years earlier.
