 Thirty
years of experience on diverse terrains:
S. Canzian d’Isonzo, Cassegliano,
Scodovacca, Villa Vicentina,
Romàns D’Isonzo, all ideally suited.
The company counts a total of 160
hectares of vines, which in the future
will grow, as the history of this company
is constantly growing.
Severino
Lorenzon arrived in Friuli as
a pioneer in the early 50's, buying
abandoned land. Emigration, as rough as it was necessary, had left
him little choice. With professionalness, entrepreneurial seriousness
and passion for his work, Severino and his wife Maria, assisted
by their son Enzo and his wife Silvana, went on to make this company
one of the best vineyards in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The turning
point came in 1991 with the acquisition of a vineyard with American
vines in Romans d'Isonzo.  Nature
had given this habitat something different compared to the average
terrain, marked by the changing moods of the Isonzo, a river dear
to the homeland, but frequently ready to change course, creating
diametrically opposite substrata. The vivid red colour, and frequent
surfacing of unevenly crushed stone, confirm that in these parts
the earth seems to say “keep me poor, I’ll make you
rich”. And so the first 15 hectares of the “Feudi di
Romàns” Crù were born. From this came the need
for a large new cellar, practically structured and equipped for
the production of quality wines. Enzo decided on every little detail
and made one of the most technologically advanced cellars.
 In
1995 another great opportunity arose: to buy the “apple company”
bordering with the first “Feudi” vineyard. 50 hectares
of apple orchard, 5 hectares of vines, farmhouse and country house.
Today the “Feudi di Romàns” crù is 50
hectares of vineyard. If in 1977 the first 7 hectares of vineyard
were planted in Cassegliano, today the hectares of vineyard number
70, 40 of which are in S. Canzian D’Isonzo near the first
of Severino’s investments. The first bottles of “I Feudi
di Romàns” were produced in 1996, the decisive step
towards quality, and since then every year is a continuous learning
curve. Replanting, cellar renovations, research. Today the company
is run by Enzo and his sons, Davide the company enotechnician, Nicola
who deals with marketing assisted by Michela Sfiligoi, commercial
director and Daniele Zimolo and Nicola Vecchiato the vine managers.
