Il Carpino
Located in a village halfway between Oslavia and San Floriano, within the Collio Goriziano, this property is blessed with a land that is particularly suited for winegrowing. The wine-growing area has a variety of factors that contribute to making it ideal for special wines such as macerated and long- ageing wines. The land is rich in minerals and salinity as a result of the “ponca” – a soil formed by marl and layered sandstone - and the mild climate. Therefore, it is possible to work the vineyard using natural methods, creating wines that age well, and which fully express the terroir and its abundant minerality. The company was established in 1987, alongside its brand and its first label, and it carries on to this day under the expert and passionate guidance of Franco Sosol and his family, who took over the management of the property from his father Silvano, who in turn had been making wine and trading it in bulk since the 1970s. A family that works well together through all phases of production, they aim to become interpreters of the territory and guardians of the landscape. Their principles for vine cultivation are based on a deep-seated respect for nature, the plants and the landscape, and they exclude the use of chemicals, implementing only organic farming practices. The macerated wines of “Il Carpino”, particularly suitable for long ageing in the bottle, are characterized by a complex and powerful aroma and flavours suitable for accompanying meat dishes.
