Barone Ritter de Záhony

The estate has its roots in the history of the Santa Maria di Aquileia monastery dating back to the Middle Ages. It is the custodian of a winegrowing tradition that dates back to 1850, when Baron Ettore Ritter de Záhony transformed the former convent into an innovative farm devoted to viticulture.

To this day, the coat of arms of the Benedictine nuns, the fleur-de-lis, is carved into the entrance door, testifying to an illustrious past and to the emphasis placed on the craftsmanship and quality of the wine, which has received high praise and awards at prestigious European exhibitions, such as the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1889.

With over 170 years of history, the estate of the Monastery of Aquileia covers 130 hectares, 60 of which are exclusively planted with vines. The seventh generation of the Ritter de Záhony family is passionately carrying on the tradition, cultivating the vines with innovative methods and paying great attention to the diversity of the soil profiles, which give the grapes an exceptional maturity, resulting in elegant wines with intense bouquets.

All the vineyards are certified by CEVIQ - the Certification of Quality Italian Wines - which guarantees not only the quality of the wine but also a commitment to environmental sustainability.
