Collio DOC is located in the prestigious wine growing region of Friulia-Venezia-Giulia and Borgo Conventi owns 20 hectares of prime vineyards which cover the rolling hills of Gorizia. Take an aerial tour of the region and the vineyards, and a close-up look at the estate and the winery.
Borgo Conventi was established in 1975 and has been making elegant wines which respect the land and the history of the region. The reigning white-wine grape varieties include the indigenous Friulano as well as the international varieties of Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon. Borgo Conventi’s estate vineyards range in age from 15 to 45 years old and the soil is composed of layers of marl and sandstone which impart a unique minerality to the wines.
Winemaker Paolo Corso has been making wines for Borgo Conventi since 1989, and believes great wine is crafted in the vineyard. The passionate team at Borgo Conventi is devoted to their vineyards and their ecosystem and the use of sustainable farming practices, such as the elimination of chemical weed control and the use of weather stations in the vineyard – it’s their way of saying, “thank you”, to the land.
