TARLAO VIGNIS IN AQUILEIA
The Tarlao family vineyards are located in the small town of Aquileia, in Friuli. Over three generations, the family have carefully crafted their winemaking philosophy: to respect and apply ancient winemaking techniques as well as utilising the latest oenological developments.
Once an important city of the Roman Empire, Aquileia is a significant archaeological site protected by the UNESCO World Heritage consortium. This allows local vineyards to continue growing indigenous grape varieties and use ancient techniques. These traditions along with their intuition and passion are what grandfather Igino and father Subino have engraved into Francesco’s approach to creating these masterpieces. Having studied oenology, with winemaking experience in Argentina and the US, Francesco brings Tarlao wines into the modern world while keeping true to tradition.
