Puiatti is a member of the Italian wine company Bertani Domains. Their wineries have never adopted fashionable styles and strive to produce genuine wines that are representative of their locale.
The Friuli region of northeastern Italy is home to Puiatti, who have been in the wine business since 1967. White winemaking method known as the Metodo Puiatti, in which white grape types are fermented and matured in 100% stainless steel, was created by Giovanni Puiatti's father Vittorio. Vittorio aimed to create clear wines with vibrant flavours. While this vinification method is now widely used not just in Italy but all over the world, it was once truly groundbreaking.
With Slovenia, Austria, and the Adriatic Sea as its borders, Friuli enjoys a special microclimate that benefits from both coastal and continental temperatures. This is especially helpful for producing fragrant white wines.
In Collio and Isonzo, two of the most significant regions in Friuli, Puiatti has vineyards. The first winery in Friuli to be built entirely out of stainless steel, concrete, and glass was theirs.The company's slogan is "Save a tree, drink Puiatti," and none of their wines are made with any kind of oak.
In order to create wines in the Puiatti's style, they employ a low intervention technique in the vineyard and the cellar. These are devoid of oak and are fresh and beautiful with little alcohol.
