The CASTLE & the COUNTESS
The original Castle was built more than a 1.000 years ago along the Roman road Via Julia Augusta that led from Aquileia to Noricum.
The main palace is made up of numerous halls full of family memories: history has never stopped here, the family of the Countess who leads you has lived here for about a THOUSAND years.
We find the typical ancient Friulian cuisine, the entrance hall, which overlooks the vast garden terrace and the viceroy’s sitting room. Further on is the guard room and the vaulted cellar on the ground floor of the tower. To go up to the main floor, a solemn stone staircase to find on one side the Salone degli Imperatori, so called due to the portraits of Roman emperors that embellish the walls and on the other the Sala dello Stemma, the Sala della Stove and the Governor’s Hall.
Still inhabited by the family (1.000 years here..), elegantly furnished and heated by fireplaces and ancient stoves, the rooms are decidedly evocative, with precious wooden floors and ceilings and walls, partly frescoed, embellished with ancient paintings, including a large family tree of the family.
First winery
The WINES of the Empire
The estate is located in a splendid fortified feudal village. The Villa, a historic residence surrounded by a centuries-old park, built between the end of the 1600s and the beginning of the 18th century. In 1891, then an Austrian territory, the property passed to a Baron, minister of war and advisor to Emperor Franz Joseph. In 1937 was acquired by our family.
Second winery
A old style farmers FAMILY
Work and passion that are handed down from generation to generation. Our 16th century villa known as the White House shows a succession of historical events starting from 1600. Tinted in lime it served for years as a lazaretto, while in Habsburg times it became a border customs house. Burnt during the uprisings of 1848, it was used as a cattle slaughterhouse for the Italian army in the WW II.
LUNCH in country style restaurant
The kingdom of traditional rustic Friulian cuisine LUNCH
Your full menu offers traditional cuisine, in perfect pairing with the wines. All raw materials are of high quality coming from our farm and from other local farms. The queen of the menu is salmon trout, bred for over 30 years in our fish farms located a few kilometers from the farmhouse. Bread, biscuits and desserts are homemade and baked every morning.
