The Ottaviano wine stands for continuous family viticulture tradition on a demanding but at the same time generous red soil. It represents not only the tradition but also the culture of vinification from grape skins, which is based on generational knowledge, resulting in a wine created by applying modern technologies, with the aim to prevent the use of chemical additives. Ottaviano is produced through fermentation achieved by yeast isolated exclusively from the family's own grape vines and nowadays obtained using sophisticated microbiological technologies. Of course, Ottaviano is not only experience, knowledge and technology. It primarily represents an emotion that pervades numerous memories, traditions, stories, cultures and nobility that live again, today as then, in its aromas, body and complexity. Ottaviano embodies the story of the Istrian vineyard and of the people who have had maintained since always that vineyard with their love, wisdom, persistence and innovation.
