La Rajade
Dolegna del Collio (GO)
Guarda il calor del sole che si fa vino" Purgatorio XXV, 77 Più di 700 anni fa Dante parlava de LA RAJADE: il raggio di sole che dà la vita e nutre la vite, il cui frutto, con il lavoro dell'uomo, ci darà il vino. Cosa c'è di più straordinario del cerchio della vita che, nel calice, si compie?
La Rajade was founded in 1993, but it was in 2005 that the Campeotto and Faurlin families, owners of a major Varmo winery established internationally but with peasant roots that had never been rescinded, decided to take over the farm with the specific intention of making it a flagship in the Collio wine scene. Continuous investments in the vineyards, in the cellar, and enhancement of resources are the cornerstones on which our activity revolves,with the aim of making you find in the glass our soul, made of work and territory, with its elegant, mineral, fruity and floral complexities.
La Rajade is a winery based in Dolegna del Collio, the northernmost municipality in the DOC Collio area. More than 7 hectares of vineyards are worked, of which about six are owned, all located in the municipality of Dolegna del Collio. It is run by the young hands of Luca in the vineyard and Denis in the cellar, respectively supported by Federico and Andrea, agronomic and oenological consultants with plurinnal experience in the area. The ponca, terminca excursion typical of the area, altitude and winds make it possible to obtain about 35,000 bottles a year. Whites include Collio Bianco Vino da Uve Autoctone (a blend of Friulano, Malvasia and Ribolla Gialla), "Caprizi" (Collio Bianco Riserva), and varietals Sauvignon, Ribolla Gialla, Friulano and Pinot Grigio (the latter both vinified in white and coppery, with no added sulfites). Four reds: in addition to the indigenous Schioppettino, three Collio DOCs: Merlot Riserva, Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva, and Rosso.
