Livon

Livon has a history of over fifty years which has made its founder Dorino Livon one of the most successful and well-known winemakers in Friuli. This is a story of family, tradition and passion for wine, accompanied by an extreme, unconditional love for Friuli , in particular for that piece of land that represents the last bastion of Italy towards Eastern Europe: the Collio and the Eastern Hills of Friuli. The first vineyard was purchased by Dorino in 1964, it is the beginning of a dream, which becomes concrete over time with the purchase of other plots and the creation of a real farm.

Livon wines

At the beginning of the Eighties the Livon company experienced a real rebirth, thanks to the entry into the company of Dorino's two sons, Valneo and Tonino, who were the first to decide to create two lines of bottles, a Cru line obtained from the selection of best grapes, destined to develop in an important way in the bottle and created to satisfy connoisseurs and enthusiasts of great wines. For these wines the large selection in the vineyard, with the reduction of the quantity obtained per hectare, the thickening of the existing vineyards and the planting of new vineyards with a high number of vines per hectare is only the beginning of a long and complex path . The Livon brothers created two cellars to create these precious nectars, the "Masarotte" cellar, where the white wines mature in barrique, and the "Vencò" cellar, destined for aging, both in barriques and in barrels, of all Red wines. The Livon brothers' road is studded with successes, to the point that the two decide to buy four farms: the Friulian Villa Chiopris and Tenuta Roncalto, the Borgo Salcetino farm in the Chianti Classico area and the Fattoria Colsanto in the Montefalco DOCG.
