Description
What kind of wine it is
Le Vigne di Zamo Rosso is a still red wine that expresses Friuli-Venezia Giulia through a blend of Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. With a ruby red colour, it offers a fruity aromatic profile with notes of cherry, raspberry and violet, enriched by a hint of oak. On the palate, it displays a youthful style, with a solid structure and well-defined tannins. Fresh and balanced, it pairs ideally with medium-aged cheeses, poultry, grilled beef or pork.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the Colli Orientali del Friuli, between Manzano and Rosazzo. The grapes come from three different terroirs cultivated by Le Vigne di Zamo, an estate founded in 1978. The company operates with deep respect for the land, employing methods aimed at environmental sustainability and organic farming. The interaction between these plots and the manual care in the vineyard ensures excellent raw material, capable of delivering a clear expression of the Friulian territory.
How it is produced
Following the manual harvest at the end of September, the grapes ferment separately in stainless steel at controlled temperature. Maceration lasts about ten days, alternating punching down, délestage and pumping over. After malolactic fermentation, the wine undergoes ageing in large oak barrels for six months. This period harmonises its character before the final blending, giving a clear fruity texture and a direct, pleasant sip, enjoyable immediately or after a period of cellaring.
History and Curiosities
Born in 1978, this wine reflects the Zamò family's love for the authenticity of the Colli Orientali del Friuli. The estate, located between Manzano and Rosazzo, enhances its historic vineyards by combining deep winemaking tradition with a rigorous sustainable approach, culminating in the first organic harvest in 2021. Aged for six months in large oak barrels, this still red offers a sip of extraordinary fruity harmony, ideal for enriching your convivial moments.

The company is fortunate to draw from three different terroirs that give the wines different and unique characters and personalities. The Zamò family has been cultivating the land for centuries: first the grandfather, then the father and finally the sons, all united under the same goal: cultivating the land and making wine as a sign of civilisation and respect for their origins and traditions,
In addition to great white wines, including Friulano and Ribolla Gialla, the company focuses on red wines to maintain the indigenous grape varieties and to pursue new projects and innovations. For years, the Zamò family has been conducting cultivation with sustainability-conscious methods, and in 2021 they obtained the first Certified Organic grape harvest. Read more
