Gradis'Ciutta
Non basta comprarla, perché una terra sia tua. Diventa tua con gli anni, con la fatica, con il sudore, con le lacrime, con i sospiri.
200,000 bottles, so many are the current annual volumes of the company which, since 2018, has obtained organic certification - which "concretizes" the approach already undertaken in 2008. Attention to the sustainability and healthiness of the grapes, which is also found in the glass, with every sip. Fine, elegant, clean. The wines of Gradis'Ciutta "speak for themselves"; expressive and vital, they include both native and "native ad honorem" grapes - as Robert would say - from Friulano to Ribolla Gialla, from Chardonnay to Sauvignon and, therefore, to Merlot, Cabernet Franc and others. Grapes harvested manually and vinified with only selected yeasts which, in some cases, tell "cross-border" stories, such as Sinefinis: a wine proud to be community-based. “Made in European Community” would say - smiling - Robert Princic. A project that began to take shape at the MIB in Trieste, during the Master in Wine Business, thanks to the friendship with Matjaz Četrtič. A Classic Method Sparkling Wine, based on Ribolla Gialla, which comes to life across the Italian-Slovenian border, to demonstrate that - despite the still current legislative difficulties - the meeting between apparently different cultures can give rise to surprising wine projects, highlighting - once again - the senseless existence of "barriers" between peoples.
