Pradio Friuli, Italy 4 Generations of excellence. In 2008 the Cielo family celebrated 100 years of family winemaking. Their jewel Pradio in Grave Del Friuli, however, was only established by brothers Luca and Pierluigi in the 1970’s. Today these immaculate vineyards on gravelly (once riverbed) soils produce the grapes necessary to create wines of superb elegance. Regarding the white wines, Luca stresses, “they are not about power, they are about finesse and elegance – even subtlety”. Flavours are long and complex. Layers reveal themselves progressively and with different foods. The gravelly soils seem to produce the mineral flavours so evident in the white wines, and so perfect to create a very refined Pinot Grigio, which we have especially selected to import. |
