Vistorta is a small village in the Friulian countryside, a farm with more than a hundred and fifty years of history and an excellent wine.

A place where time seems to stand still and where human endeavour is intertwined with the unpredictability of nature.

Among the wines, the one that reigns supreme is Merlot, a grape variety from Bordeaux grown in Vistorta since the late 19th century.

But there is more to Vistorta than just the farm: it is also a place of contemplation and connection with the rhythms of nature.

It was Brandino Brandolini who had the insight to create a great red wine from Merlot grapes in the region.
