About the wine

Grandfather Min laid the foundation stone 50 years ago, father Livio Zorzettig built on it and Massimo and Marco Zorzettig, who together with mother Gabriella preserve the family tradition, continue the story with their wine cellar La Tunella. She and her invaluable staff, including the outstanding OENO lodge and friend Luigino Zamparo, combine innovation and experience, new developments and the established tradition of the Colli Orientali del Friuli. The 70 hectares of the La Tunella winery are all located in the D.O.C. growing area and are planted entirely with vines in a ratio of 70:30, i.e. 70% for white wines and the remaining 30% for red wines. The hilly region, the Colli Orientali, consists of mixed soils of sandstone and marl (called “ponca” in Friulian) and is characterized by a particularly favourable, simply unique microclimate.
