Situated close to the Slovenian and Austrian borders, Friuli stretches from the Alps to the plains of the Adriatic, offering a range of climates and growing conditions. The region is lauded for its whites, but reds such as this outstanding Cabernet Franc are gaining traction.
Cormons is one of those producers bringing light to the grapes of Friuli. A co-op of 100 members formed in the 1968, Cormòns craft wines from across Friuli from the esteemed Collio, through Friuli and Isonzo and down to Aquileia.
The Cantina Produttori Cormòns, located in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region of Italy, was established in 1968 by a group of visionary wine growers from Cormòns. These passionate vintners aimed to preserve and enhance the centuries-old traditions of their territory.
The cooperative consists of over 120 families, all dedicated to producing high-quality wines that reflect the authentic character of the region. The Cantina is renowned not only for its exceptional wines but also for its unique initiatives, such as the painted barrels project, where prominent artists have transformed Slavonian oak barrels into works of art.
