Petrucco

The Petrucco winery, a combination of tradition and innovation in the heart of the Colli Orientali del Friuli wine district, has been synonymous with excellence in the world of wine for more than three decades. Founded in the 1980s by engineer Paolo Petrucco and his wife Lina Zoffi, the company is driven by the love for their land and a heartfelt commitment to viticulture.

Located in Buttrio in Monte (Udine), the estate covers 35 hectares of Eocene soil, characterised by the famous composition of stratified clays and calcareous marls known as Ponca. This land, rich in minerals and microelements, has given life to centuries-old vines, including those that yield the Ronco di Paolo selection of wines, an authentic crowning achievement of the estate.

With a focus on quality first, the winery produces 80,000 bottles a year, achieved with a deliberately low yield per hectare. The grapes, harvested by hand when perfectly ripe, are carefully processed to preserve their integrity and then fermented at a controlled temperature. This is where the alchemy between ancient wisdom and modern technology takes place, giving life to Petrucco wines, an authentic expression of the territory and the passion of its producers.

The history of the winery is also intertwined with the story of its oldest vineyards, including the ones that once belonged to Countess  Florio, Italo Balbo's wife, after whom the reserve selections of the winery are named.

It is in this treasure chest of tradition and innovation, under the expert guidance of oenologist Flavio Cabas for almost three decades, that the Petrucco winery continues to celebrate the excellence of Friulian wines, conquering the palates of wine connoisseurs all over the world.
