Pavia has the second largest vine cultivation
in the Region of Udine, boasting a land surface
of more than 350 hectares of vineyardsi.
Conti Lovaria winery, in line with the wine industry
vocation of Friuli, and their own family tradition,
have completed a project to increase the cultivation
of vines on their own estate with a land surface
of 22 hectares of vineyards.
The vineyards, all grouped together on one piece
of land, extend from the back of the restaurant
to practically rub noses with the built up area
of Lovaria. A private country road with two age
old cypress trees marking the entrance, crosses
the vineyards making it a pleasant place for a
relaxing walk or bicycle ride.
The road is perfectly straight for over a kilometre,
crossing the entire piece of land skirting the
vineyards and offering a striking perspective
of the surrounding view, framed on the horizon
by a first view of the peaks of the Carniche and
Giulie Alps, on which dominates the summit of
Mount Canin (2587 mt).
 The
level, prevalently clayey ground, favours the
production of excellent cultivated red grapes,
for example, merlot, cabernet franc and cabernet
sauvignon. Part of the grapes are made into wine
giving birth to red and white table wines whose
organoleptic and sensory characteristics express
the quality of perfect harmony among land, climate,
vineyard and wine-making technology, guaranteed
by the production process in the Lovaria winery.
Theses wines are exclusively supplied to the
wine cellars of the “La Tana del Lupo”,
as they are perfectly adaptable to the homely
and wholesome style of the restaurant as well
as to the menu offered. Moreover, they can be
tasted and bought at the licensed shop of the
winery, situated just close to the Residenza Villa
Lovaria.
There is a reproduction of the original map of
the agricultural estate owned by the Lovaria family
on display in the entrance hall of the restaurant
and this documents the cultivation of the vines
already present on the same land since the beginning
of 1700.
Wine: The Ambassador
of Friuli throughout the world.
