Tenuta Luisa in Friuli, Italy is a family winery that was founded more than 80 years ago by Francesco Luisa, a widower, who at age 37 bought 12 acres of land for the vineyards while taking care of six children. The Luisa estate boasts unique terroir. The soil of the estate is rich in minerals, including aluminium and iron. The vineyards are located in Friuli near Cormons, which is best suited to fresh and fruity white wine, as well as in the Corona and Mariano, which is suitable for full-bodied, structured red wines. The region borders the Adriatic Sea to the south and the Carnic Alps to the north.
