Dal 1956 Poderi in Bellazoia

T E N I M E N T I C I VA WA S B O R N IN THE ENCHANTING BELLAZOIA Tenimenti Civa was born on the Eastern Hills of Friuli, in Bellazoia di Povoletto (Udine). In this strip of land, in Ravosa, Faedis, Manzano and San Giovanni al Natisone, we started up a new project aimed at producing local grapevines: Ribolla gialla - the jewel in the company’s crown - Friulano (formerly Tocai), Refosco dal peduncolo rosso and Schioppettino. In addition to these varieties, we also cultivate Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Glera, Cabernet and Merlot. All these wines fall under the controlled designation of origin (Doc) Friuli Colli Orientali and Doc Friuli.

We cultivate our vines in the luscious green countryside and the strip of hills in the northern part of the region. These hills, together with the woodland and the summits of the Giulie Prealps, confer enchanting beauty to the Bellazoia estate.

A DELIGHTFUL LAND

BET WEEN THE L ANDFORMS OF THE GIULIE PREALPS AND THE HIGH PL AINS OF FRIULI

DOC FRIULI COLLI ORIENTALI A UNIQUE LAND The hardwood grove that partly surrounds the hill acts as a barrier to the cold northern winds.

This unique climate is beneficial to the vines that produce locally characteristic grapes.

The great biodiversity of the trees and plants that grow here and the presence of a multitude of insects together create a truly harmonious atmosphere. This wealth is gradually transmitted to our vines, helping us to agronomically and properly manage them.

We leave just a few buds on each vine and plant each hectare in a concentrated way. This allows us to produce a much-appreciated quality of wine.

OUR WINES Tenimenti Civa wines are produced exclusively with grapes coming from the company and small local agricultural realities.

Our productive philosophy is summarised in the 85l15 logo, where 85% represents DOC vines and 15% represents the best varieties of the Estate. This means that our wine maintains all the typical characteristics of each vine while being enriched by the fragrances and aromas that result from a unique blend.

LA RIBOLLA GIALLA One type of vine and wine has our particular attention: the Ribolla gialla!

There is no doubt that at least one part of the Eastern Hills of Friuli and both the Italian and Slovenian hilly zone of Collio, is renowned throughout the wine-making world as the birthplace of this wine. The history of the Ribolla is very well documented: the historical sources from the Middle Ages all the way to modern times refer to the Ribolla wine (the first document is the Statutes of Treviso from 1207), while the first certain attestation of a Ribolla vine dates back to 1822.

On 29th January of that year in the Laibacher Zeitung, a newspaper of Ljubljana published an advert for a nursery offering shoots and branches of some legendary varieties of wine production in Friuli and Trieste – including the Ribolla.

We will never know if this was the yellow Ribolla as we know it today or one of the many vines that used to be blended in order to produce a wine with the same name.

Ribolla gialla has been used as a single variety for about 70 years, and while until a few decades ago it was a sweet wine, only slightly fermented, that the people of Friuli drank with chestnuts, today it is much appreciated as a dry and sparkling wine.
