Dario Coos Vineyard, Friuli-Venezia Giulia

• ​Five generations of the Coos family have been producing wine on the hillslopes of Ramandolo, in north-eastern Italy, since the 1800s and today’s winery is a run by a group of friends. These friends are, however, experienced and passionate wine growers who understand the land, the climate, the seasons and what it takes to produce excellent wine.
• The harvest is still done by hand in the traditional way – this is the only way of working on the steep terraced slopes – but the winery now has new vine stock and new cellars; a wonderful marriage of old tradition and new experimentation. And, how lucky that they are all friends in it together!

• These big flavour-packed whites, made from autochtonous grapes, arrived in March 2016. They are simply perfect for spring and summer! Best drunk young and fresh so what are you waiting for?
