Foffani family and farm in Clauiano, Friuli

FAMILY AND FARM

The old property of Giovanni Foffani’s mother, Maria Teresa Calligaris, has origin in the XVI century and documented wine production since 1789.
The family residential house, facing the main square of the medieval village of Clauiano, is now protected by the Ministry of Fine Arts as an example of local architecture preceding the Venetian villas, that were built one century later.

In the backyard, the rural buildings are surrounded by a large garden that continues into the vineyards, in the flatland just below the Eastern Alpine chain.

Giovanni Foffani is now fully dedicated to vineyard growing and cellar operations, with his wife Elisabetta Missoni taking care of PR and reception management.

Their sons, Guglielmo and Lorenzo, help on the technical and communication side.

The new entry is little grandson Diego, in the photogallery with his first Christmas tree.

Nicoletta Gottardo and Massimiliano Vecchiato collaborate with passion in the activities and the achievements of the farm.
The other sections of this site provide more information about the farm activities and products.

Azienda Agricola Foffani is located in Clauiano, Friuli region, East of Venice. It belongs to our family since 1600, and has documented wine production since 1789. The house and its surrounding rural buildings are protected by the Italian Ministry of fine arts, as an example of local architecture preceding Venetian villas. The vineyards are located just nearby, behind the park. The village belongs to the special group of the most beautiful rural villages of Italy.
The visitor can taste our high quality wines in the agriturismo Antico Cantinone, spend a few nights and relax at our B&B Casa Antica Mosaici and visit our permanent exhibition I Colori del Vino.
Groups are welcome for guided tours to the cellars.
Our wine production has been renovated in the last years with the creation of the original and very successful dry White Merlot, a high class blanc de noir already sold locally, in Europe, Asia and America ( #drywhitemerlot ). Part of our portfolio are also Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot Riserva, as well as the indigenous Friulano and Refosco and other wines with minor quantities.
Our wines are available for purchase at the farm premises, are distributed in several world markets
