The Jermann winery was born from the passion and vision of a family of Slovenian origin who arrived in Villanova di Farra, Friuli, in 1881. From simple farmers, the family members became the owners of vineyards in a few years. In the 1970s, Silvio Jermann, with his youthful flair and imagination, brought the family winery to the top of the Italian and then the world in terms of quality: no longer heavy, strong and harsh wines, but perfumed and harmonious nectars created according to more modern logic and methods, but always respecting tradition.
Today, Jermann wines are among the most appreciated in Friuli and known internationally. The family property extends over 150 hectares, 130 of which are vineyards. The vineyards are spread over three main areas: on the prized hill of Ruttars, where the vines enjoy a light, cool soil and a microclimate that is not too hot with night-time temperature dips; on the stony soils of the Isonzo, in a sunny but windy area; in Villanova di Farra, where the old winery is located, in a very evocative part of the Collio DOC area. A new winery has been built around the Ruttars vineyards, equipped with the latest technology and populated by large oak barrels that create a truly magical and unrepeatable atmosphere. Significant enological landmarks are born here, such as Jermann Vintage Tunina, Jermann Vinnae, the single-variety whites, Chardonnay Jermann W...Dreams, Pignacolusse and Blau Blau, an ancient yet modern and innovative red wine.
Jermann is not just a winery, but a driving force behind the exceptional reputation that Friuli's wine production enjoys today. Their love for the land and indigenous grape varieties is evident in every bottle, resulting in a magnificent range of award-winning whites and robust reds. These wines, which have become part of Italian wine history, are a testament to Jermann's contribution to the global fame of Friuli.
