Conti Tacoli Asquini: A Legacy of Quality Wines

Located in the picturesque “Le Grave del Friuli” region, nestled between Udine and Pordenone, Conti Tacoli Asquini has been crafting exceptional wines since 1836. The name ‘Le Grave del Friuli’ refers to the unique gravelly soil rich in rounded pebbles, ideal for vine cultivation. This distinctive terroir contributes to the winery's reputation for producing high-quality wines.

Winemaking in a Historic Setting

Spanning 23 hectares, the estate surrounds a charming sixteenth-century family villa, which houses the winery's cellar. The primary grape variety cultivated here is Merlot, benefiting from the region's favorable micro-climate. Conti Tacoli Asquini is known for its diverse winemaking techniques, producing premium wines under the ‘Grave del Friuli DOC’ designation, as well as ‘Prosecco DOC’ and ‘Venezia Giulia IGT’ labels.

A Rich Family Heritage

The Tacoli family has a storied history, with ancestors who were warriors, judges, and administrators. Notably, Count Fabio Asquini, an important figure in the family lineage, is credited with developing the Picolit grapevine in 1758. Today, Paolo Tacoli oversees the winery alongside his daughter, Paola, and son, Federico. With nearly two centuries of winemaking tradition, Conti Tacoli Asquini is a must-visit for wine enthusiasts and travelers in this renowned wine-producing region.
