La Tunella
In the lush heart of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, among the hills of the Colli Orientali del Friuli, stands La Tunella, a winery that has masterfully blended modernity and tradition. Here, the land tells ancient stories of native grape varieties and a passion for viticulture that is passed down from generation to generation.
La Tunella stands out for a production approach that, while looking to the future with cutting-edge technologies, never forgets the deep roots that sink into the Friulian territory. The grapes cultivated, such as Friulano, Sauvignon, and Refosco, are carefully selected to create wines that precisely and deeply express the unique characteristics of this land.
Among the main labels, the Friulano and Biancosesto stand out, two wines that embody the essence of the winery. The Friulano presents itself with a vibrant freshness and an aromatic complexity that captivates, while the Biancosesto, a skillful blend of white varieties, enchants with its elegance and enveloping structure. These wines, with their notes of ripe fruit, white flowers, and aromatic herbs, invite you to discover the best of Friulian winemaking.
La Tunella is a reality that embodies the perfect synthesis of tradition and innovation, a place where every bottle is a journey into the heart of Friuli.

THE COMPANY
Between past and future, perfectly integrated into contemporary times. This is how one of the most representative wineries of all Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and in particular of its Eastern Hills, could be defined. A story in continuous evolution, which began over fifty years ago with a small amount of bulk wine, and continues today with the construction of the new winery, a functional place for a unique production of consistent quality.
From Friulano to Ribolla Gialla, from Malvasia to Schioppettino, to Pignolo and Picolit, passing through Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, “Biancosesto,” and Sauvignon, there is no wine from “La Tunella” that isn’t worth tasting.
So let’s go back to the origins, when first grandfather Min and then father Livio Zorzettig started the agricultural business now run by brothers Massimo and Marco Zorzettig, with the support of their mother Gabriella.
Currently, there are about seventy hectares of vineyards, of which 30% are planted with red grape varieties, while the remaining 70% is planted with white grape varieties. On soils composed of sandstones and marls, in a unique microclimate particularly favorable to viticulture, protected to the north by the Julian Prealps, which shield against the coldest winds, and warmed by southern breezes coming from the Adriatic Sea, plants are cultivated that produce exceptional fruits, rich in every subtle nuance. Bunches that, after being harvested only at the right ripeness, are transformed in the modern winery spread over two levels and perfectly functional for all production processes: the basement contains fermentation rooms, drying rooms, the barrel cellar, and aging rooms, while the ground floor houses the warehouse and the bottling system.
The wines labeled “La Tunella,” where history, memory, and traditions coexist with new and creative energies, give rise to a solid and intriguing range, capable of spanning from classic whites and reds to blends, dessert wines, and single varietals: bottles resulting from careful enhancement of the territory and all its best characteristics.
