Gradis'ciutta

Gradis’ciutta was born when Robert Princic, having finished his studies in Oenology and Viticulture in Conegliano, decided at the age of 20 in 1997 to give a name to the work on the land that his family had carried on for generations. First his grandfather, then his father, had bought some land to produce grapes that they then sold to third parties: the turning point came when Robert decided to create his own brand to tell of his passion for the land and wine. The name chosen by Robert, Gradis’ciutta, is taken from the name of the locality in the heart of Collio that has been generous with excellent grapes for centuries and is closely linked to the history of his family: a clear declaration of attachment to the land, family identity and passion for wine-growing. All these characteristics bind together in a double knot and are the basis of all the company’s activities. Today, thanks to the work of the entire family, “Gradis’ciutta” has grown to 25 hectares under vine, out of a total of 35, in the municipalities of San Floriano del Collio, Gorizia, Capriva del Friuli and Dolegna del Collio. This choice is not random; on the contrary, given the peculiarities of the territory, it is based on the desire to fully express the characteristics of Collio and its hills. Constantly supported by his tireless parents, Robert has grown the business, obtaining awards for his wines and personal recognition, without ever forgetting the right balance in the relationship between man and nature. A philosophy that is reflected in the character of the wines and in his approach to others. The current headquarters of Gradis’ciutta is in Giasbana, a locality in San Floriano del Collio, where a winery has been built that represents the culmination of many years of work.
