Label / history
Volpe Pasini is based in the heart of Colli Orientali del Friuli. Its estate includes a manor house built in 1596, surrounding buildings, a park and a Ribolla vineyard, covering more than 20,000 m² in total. The earliest document recording wine production at the estate dates from the seventeenth century. In 1970, the winery began an intensive study of new winemaking technologies, which it subsequently adopted.
