Lis Neris

When the Isonzo river leaves the narrow canals that contain it during its Slovenian journey, here is Gorizia, one of the most disputed border cities in Europe. An enchanting scenery appears dotted with small villages that have grown up around a bell tower. The vineyards characterize the landscape and with their phases they mark the rhythm of the days.
In this context, since 1879, four generations of the Pecorari family have contributed with work and passion to the construction and growth of one of the most representative production realities of Eastern Friuli.

1981 was the turning point and it was there that a new production mentality aimed at achieving superior quality began to take shape. The white wines have proven to be the best expression of this territory, peculiarities that they have acquired as the cornerstone of the company mission.

More than 70 hectares of vines are planted between the Slovenian border to the north and the right bank of the Isonzo to the south. The surface pebbles, locally called claps , store heat during the day and release it during the night; this favors the ripening of the grapes. This is how powerful wines are born. Finally there is the Bora... dominant winds arriving from the north east capable of creating temperature variations that slow down ripening, favoring the aromatic concentration of the grapes and the balance of acids. This is how elegant wines are born. The proximity of the sea and the fresh Balkan winds give the perfect temperature range, essential for obtaining the great white wines for which Friuli and Lis Neris are so famous.
