GRILLO IOLE FRIULI, ITALY

Grillo Iole was born from the passion of Sergio Muzzolini, who bought the first acres of vineyard in the 1970’s in order to satisfy his desire to taste a good glass of authentic wine with his closest friends. Slowly over the next 40 years, the company has grown to its present size. His daughter Anna took over the family estate in 1999 and leads with a lot of passion and gratitude toward her origins. Her goal is to make exciting, unforgettable wines. It is essential to her that the process does not harm the environment and the people who live in the area where they work. Anna focuses on the native grapes of the region. With a total production under 3500 cases, it is very much a small family operation.
