When Genagricola acquired Azienda Agricola Poggiobello in 1974, its vineyards covered a small surface area of only 12 hectares. This territory is internationally recognized as one of Italy’s best for the production of white wine and its extraordinary potential proved a driving force behind the decision to invest in these vineyards. The company gradually initiated a series of lot acquisitions near the Company’s the winery. The company now boasts a surface area of 110-hectares, ninety of which host cultivated vineyards. It grows ancient indigenous varieties like Ribolla Gialla, Friulano, Refosco, Verduzzo Friulano and Picolit (of which Poggiobello owns the largest portion of the Colli Orientali Consortium). Moreover, the company also grows the most known international varieties such as merlot and sauvignon , which have been cultivated in this territory for centuries.

This international vine has been cultivated in Friuli since the first half of the nineteenth century. In the Colli Orientali’s marly terrain, it found a habitat that gives its grapes optimal body and an aromatic nature. The name of this wine derives from the bronze-like color of its grapes, which used to give the wine a distinct ‘gray’ shade—when wine-making techniques were not as refined as they are today.
