History

Carso DOC's history dates back to ancient times. The wine's name 'Carso' is derived from the Karst Plateau, a region known for its unique terrain and climate. Over the centuries, the winemaking techniques have been perfected, leading to the high quality Carso DOC wine that is known today. The wine was officially recognized with the DOC status in 1975, further cementing its legacy in Italian viticulture.

Geographical Production Area

The Carso DOC wine is produced in the Carso area of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. This region is characterized by its rocky terrain and harsh climate, with strong winds and high rainfall. Despite these challenging conditions, the Carso area is ideal for the cultivation of the grapes used in Carso DOC, as the rocky soil provides excellent drainage and the climate ensures a long, steady ripening period.
