Hilde Petrussa took over as head winemaker from her mother. She began reshaping the vineyards around native grape varieties trained using the Guyot system.

The winery is based in Albana, in the municipality of Prepotto, in Colli Orientali del Friuli, close to Italy's border with Slovenia. The vineyards lie among gentle hills around the Judrio River valley, which form a natural amphitheater.

The certified estate follows principles of sustainability and biodiversity conservation. Vines are trained using the Guyot system. Every stage of vineyard work is done with care, from thinning the bunches on the vines to harvesting the grapes by hand.

The winery makes wines that it describes as having distinctive character and personality, while respecting the traditions and terroir of Colli Orientali del Friuli. Its wines have received numerous awards from leading wine guides and critics.
