Founded in 1499, Tenuta Villanova is nowadays the longest-living winery of Friuli Venezia Giulia.
The property covers approximately 495 acres, from the high banks of Isonzo river, to the Collio hills.Tenuta Villanova produces excellences in both sectors of wine and distillation.
Tenuta Villanova expresses the art of wine a few steps from Gorizia, a city where the art of lacemaking (so-called “merletto goriziano”) took place.
From the Eocene era, soil is marked by marls and sandstones flysch. In later ages it turned into the “ponca”: the traditional rocky substrate of the hilly area.
