Ca Lovisotto
Poianis (UD)
Siamo una famiglia eterogenea che ama la cultura, la natura e la vite, e ha voluto unirle tutte per creare Ca Lovisotto. Produciamo solo vini biologici da varietà autoctone su terra di Ponca. Il nostro motto è: il grappolo nel bicchiere, ovvero assaporare vini che sappiano di uva, fatti come una volta
This family-run winery was founded in 2018 as the realization of a dream held by husband and wife Luigi and Donatella Lovisotto: to live well in a healthy environment, surrounded by nature and making their own wine. Drawing on his experience as a manager of a major agricultural estate and his training as a winemaker, Luigi established an organic winery dedicated exclusively to producing high-quality native wines. Later, thanks to their son Emmanuele and his wife Francesca, the winery evolved into a resort nestled between woods and vineyards. Luxurious accommodations equipped with every comfort for guests, a wellness area in the woods featuring a pool, a hot tub, and a sauna, electric mountain bike rentals, wine tastings and small cultural events, and forest bathing—all combine to offer a truly well-rounded experience.
A sundial featuring Bacchus and a water nymph (agana) greets visitors above the entrance door, which leads to a small, semi-underground wine cellar with its original Venetian floor. The round arches, a reproduction of Veronese’s Bacchus, and a tapestry frame the tonneaux, barriques, and amphorae. This is not your typical winery but a small cultural haven where you can savor a glass of wine to truly experience and connect with the region. The three local varieties—Schioppettino di Prepotto, Ribolla Gialla, and Pignolo—are cultivated with care and passion, starting right in the vineyard, where all work is done exclusively by hand. In the heart of the Guarda Fuoco hills, the terraced vineyards stretch out like an amphitheater, basking in the morning sun from the east before it sets behind the woods—a pattern that creates a significant daily temperature range, ensuring rich and intense aromas. During periods of heavy rain, winds from the north help dry the soil—known as “Ponca”—a highly mineral-rich mixture of marl and sandstone dating back to the Eocene epoch, when the area was once covered by the sea. The balance between the vineyard and the forest fosters a self-regulating symbiosis from an agronomic perspective. “A Factory in the Landscape”—this is the recognition the winery received in Foligno during the 15th edition of the International Award of the Italian Federation of Associations and Clubs for UNESCO (FICLU).
