More about I Clivi

I Clivi makes some of the purest, most transparent white wines in Friuli: old vines, native grapes, stainless steel, and nothing standing between the hillside and your glass. "The land makes this wine," says founder Ferdinando Zanusso, and the wines back him up.

Ferdinando bought the vineyards in the early 1990s after a career abroad, and the first wine came in 1996. He now runs the estate with his son Mario. Their roughly 12 hectares sit right at the border of Friuli's two great white-wine hill zones, near Slovenia. Most are on the Gramogliano hill at Corno di Rosazzo in the Colli Orientali, with the rest on the slopes of Monte Quarin at Brazzano in the Collio. Many of the vines are 40 to 80 years old and grow in ponca, the region's layered marl and sandstone. Farming is organic, and yields are naturally tiny.

In the cellar, the Zanussos use only free-run juice. It's fermented with native yeasts and raised in stainless steel, with no wood and no skin contact. Friulano is the heart of the range, alongside Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia Istriana, Verduzzo and the peppery local red Schioppettino. Expect wines of texture, saline minerality and quiet intensity rather than fireworks.
