Forchir - Viticoltori in Friuli
Engaged in viticulture since 1901, the Forchir company was one of the first to bottle wine in Friuli. Today, after four generations and an unwavering passion, Forchir is engaged in an oenological project that combines tradition with the evolution of technique and taste. The property covers 230 hectares of vineyards, partly located in Camino al Tagliamento and partly in Spilimbergo, in the Controlled Designation of Origin Friuli Grave area. For the winegrowing they avail themselves of methods with low environmental impact that use technology as a tool that does not replace, but rather espouses the natural rhythms of the land, the vine and the wine. In 2014 a new wine cellar
was built, at the forefront of architecture and environmental sustainability, totally carbon-free and zero emissions thanks to geothermal and photovoltaic systems that guarantee total energy self sufficiency. Vinification takes place without using sulphur dioxide, and for the bottling phase wine is stored according to best practice. Sparkling wines rest ten months on the lees in the autoclaves for a long Charmat method for great taste and scent. White wines are obtained only from soft pressing, which gives a very delicate first must; the reds are fruity and pleasant; closing the range is a pink Muscat that delivers an explosion of strawberry and cherry flavours. The company's value for money products have earned it decades-long recognition.
