Producer Information

Founded in 1879, Lis Neris is a four generation family estate located in the centre of Friuli, in the charming village of San Lorenzo, south west of Gorizia. The 74 ha of vineyards are planted between the Slovenian border to the North and the right bank of the Isonzo river to the South. Being close to the sea, the climate is typically Mediterranean, and the bora – a prevailing wind coming from the Adriatic Sea – has a cooling effect. A wide diurnal range encourages slow ripening and results in concentrated grapes with balanced acidity. The soil, formed by calcareous gravel dragged down by the melting of the Eastern Alps glaciers, stores the warmth during the day and releases it at night time, also helping the grapes to ripen. The wines are produced from the domaine’s estate vineyards, and vineyards in Slovenia they closely manage. Total production is 30,000 cases per year. 1981 was a turning point in the history of the winery, with a new approach to production aimed at raising the quality. Since, Alvaro Pecorari has expanded and improved the project started by his father in the seventies. He designed the plans for a total renovation, completed in 1990, making the winery 100% gravity fed. Lis Neris, currently run by Alvaro and his daughter Federica, is now recognized as one of the best producers in Friuli. Farming practices/sustainability: organic farming. Because the winery wants to use less impactful products in their vineyards (ie no copper sulfites), they are not certified. A single annual treatment of insecticide imposed by EU regulations is performed against Flavescence dorée. Fungicides are used against downy mildew and powdery mildew under a program imposed by EU regulations. Both treatments apply to all vineyards, included the organic ones. The winery is powered by solar panels and is fully autonomous. The vineyards are all managed in the same manner: cover crops between rows, single guyot training. The grapes are hand-harvested – Alvaro and Federica feel strongly that hand-harvesting is the only way to achieve the qualit
