In the late 1990s, Lorenzo Mocchiutti and his wife Federica Magrini inherited a few hectares of vines from Lorenzo's grandfather. The vineyards had been mostly neglected for decades and were planted mainly with old vines of local varieties such as Tocai Giallo, Malvasia Istriana, Tocai Friulano and Schioppettino, along with more common grapes like Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Merlot. Today their holdings cover seven hectares, split between hillsides and flatlands. They include Ronco Pitotti, one of the oldest hillside vineyards in Friuli, with vines dating back to the 1920s.
