Castelvecchio

Friuli whites of mineral precision and regional character.

Castelvecchio operates in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the northeastern corner of Italy where Alpine influence meets Mediterranean warmth. The region's limestone-rich soils and cool nights shape wines of mineral precision and aromatic clarity. The winery's portfolio centers on indigenous and classic white varieties. Sauvignon Carso, built from Sauvignon Blanc, reaches toward the region's signature salinity and stone-fruit intensity. Vitovska Carso, made from the local Vitovska grape, expresses the terroir's mineral character with textural depth. Dileo Malvasia, crafted from Malvasia, brings the aromatic complexity and subtle richness the variety offers in this cool climate. Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Wine Spectator have all assessed the winery's output. The wines reflect Friuli's identity: dry, food-friendly, and rooted in place rather than oak or extraction.
