Valter Scarbolo is a Friulian winemaker with over 25 hectares of vineyards
on land originally cultivated by his father Gino. Two renowned Friulian
oenologists who both share his philosophy of winemaking are employed as
consultants. Between them, they are producing a small range of very high
quality wines which reveal both the characteristics of the grape variety
and the place they are grown. Azienda Agricola Scarbolo is a family-operated
winery, with 25 hectares of cultivated land located on the right bank
of the Torre and 5 km south of the Colli Orientali. The terrain is of
alluvial origins, and is composed of clay and gravel deposited during
the Quaternaria era. The vineyards are located in close proximity to the
cellar and are cultivated according to the Guyot training system. The
climate is ventilated and dry, with cooling winds from the east and warm-marine
air from the south. The sea and mountains assist in creating the ideal
climate for viticulture, warm days and cool nights, preserving aromas
and flavours by allowing the grapes to mature less rapidly. The grapes
grown are those of Friulian tradition, Tocai Friulano, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay,
Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
