Nestled between the Collio Hills and the fertile Isonzo plains, in the eastern heart of Friuli Venezia Giulia, a small but vibrant family-run company stands proudly. Vosca Company occupies an area of \u200b\u200b10 hectares<\/strong>, most of which are covered with vineyards, and is located in Brazzano, a picturesque town of the Municipality of Corm\u00f2ns<\/strong>. This small town, renowned for its illustrious winemaking tradition, offers a large and refined variety of products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In these places, an ancient art handed down from generation to generation is perpetuated with great dedication. The challenging position of the vineyards, scattered between hills and plains,<\/strong> does not facilitate mechanized work with modern equipment, often leading to favor methods that recall the work of our fathers<\/strong>, from whom useful lessons are still drawn today. Hard work, possible only due to a deep passion for the land, but which is abundantly repaid by wines of extraordinary quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The type of soil on which the vineyards are located is known as \u201cponca\u201d.<\/strong> It is composed of a stratification of marl and sandstone formed over the course of thousands of years. It is rich in salts and microelements, suitable for the cultivation of different types of grapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the primary goals<\/strong> of Vosca Company is to produce its wines with the classic system that in the area is called \u201ccappuccina\u201d. <\/strong>This system has the aim of presenting itself on the market with a highly qualified product both in quality and in the organoleptic characteristics of the variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preserving the past but looking to the future and its innovations, for years Vosca Company has set itself the goal of offering to the increasingly knowledgeable and demanding consumer a bottled product of excellent quality<\/strong>. The vineyards, kissed by the sun and caressed by the breeze, proudly carry on the legendary winemaking heritage of Friuli Venezia Giulia, offering the thrill of a precious and unique nectar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Brazzano, in full area Collio - word that we associate with great wines, flourishing nature and common welfare - after the war, there was poverty . And who were working in the vineyards was far from be a privileged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The wine - says Francesco Vosca - was considered poorest than wheat and corn that was grown in the plains. Between '40 and '50 there was no work, my uncle had to emigrate to Argentina. Dad Mario told that over the years of the regime had to march on Saturday, but he was often away on working, so the police were going to take him and put in jail. But he did not complain because basically it was the only day of rest.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Franesco, who was born in 1959, has seen with his own eyes the reality of the countryside: \"As children, six to seven years aged, he was going to dig in the fields \u2013 he remembers. Today I laugh when I hear about child exploitation: they are big words, you should always evaluate the context ... In the sixties there was still misery and labor was necessary because we had no equipment. One more child was important. \"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with dad, mom and two sisters, Vosca cultivated hectare family property here in Brazzano. Carboys and bulk wine, more white than red: Tocai, Malvasia and Ribolla, before they became fashionable ones that Francesco still called \"the French ones\", that are Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Vosca studied in Cividale del Friuli and graduated in Agriculture; first joined his father and then leads the company in the accompanying metamorphosis that we have met other times before. \"Until the beginning of the nineties we still had the stable, only then we have chosen to focus on wine.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today the hectares are 8 and 15 thousand are the bottles. But resist the \"bulk one\". Three-quarters of the production are white wines: great balance of Tocai, but Malvasia has a great result too. Helped by his wife Anita and his sons Gabriele and Elisabetta, Vosca relies moderation aging in wood and keeps, next to modern Guyot, the farming system \"alla cappuccina\" which in some cases produces more balanced wines. There is also the blend white Collio '05 (Tocai 65%, the rest are Pinot Grigio and Malvasia), slightly barred. Three wines of 2005 Vosca deserved the two glasses of Slow Food (Tocai, Malvasia and Pinot Grigio), while the Tocai '02 won the three stars in the Guide of the Chambers of Commerce; excellent scores even from L'Espresso magazine reviewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
