LA Ponca
Friuli-Venezia Giulia
A name, a territory
La Ponca is found amongst the picturesque hills of Scrió, on the northwestern edge of Collio. The vineyard's unique soil is composed of layers of marl and sandstone. This layering, allows for the collection of ground water that encourages deep root growth. This combination of elements is vital for producing high-quality grapes, allowing the vines to access essential minerals and hydration. The result? Wines that are mineral-driven and sleek on the palette.
The winery's name, honours the 'ponca' or soils as they believe that is the secret to their wine success. This, along with their varying elevations, surrounding nature and ideal sun exposures, of course.
