Edi Kante , master of an art that with continuous experimentation and innovation creates products distinguished by a freshness and elegance found only in the authenticity and purity of nature. Part craftsman and part inventor, in 1980 he fell in love with the Karst, a small strip of land that stretches from the slopes of the Julian Alps to the Adriatic Sea, and realising its great wine-growing potential decided to found his own winery in Duino Aurisina, in the province of Trieste, creating a cellar on several levels and dug into the natural rock, thus having the perfect temperature and the right humidity to preserve his bottles in the most correct way. The winery today covers about 17 hectares under vine, characterised by a rocky-calcareous soil, rough and difficult to tame, where acidity and minerality become typical characteristics of the wines, and where each vine struggles to survive, making its way through the stony surface. A Mediterranean climate, mild and sunny, but with fresh continental influences, thanks to the Bora that often blows violently from the north-east. An environment in which it is not easy for vines to survive, but which naturally produces a few grapes of exceptional quality. Edi Kante's path in the world of wine has gone through various stages: from experiments with maceration on the skins, to the use of barriques, and then to classic white vinification, aimed at obtaining wines that are floral, fruity and endowed with remarkable flavour and freshness, stylistic features of the area. The estate's vineyards cultivate both native and international varieties, such as vitovska, malvasia, teran and pinot noir.
