Ca' Tullio: the history

The beautiful Ca' Tullio winery is located in Aquileia, a town rich in olive groves in the province of Udine. The building dates back to the end of the 19th century and was purchased in 1928 by the Tullio family. Within a few years, the winery achieved surprising success. It was in fact one of the most important economic centres in the area, dedicated mainly to agricultural cultivation.

The most profitable activity that took place inside Ca' Tullio, however, was the drying of tobacco leaves. At the time, braziers were placed on the beaten earth floor of the large structure to heat the cellar.

In 1990, the Ca' Tullio complex was then purchased by Walter Calligaris. He converted the building into a wine cellar, giving rise to outstanding wine production. Since then, the family has managed the facility with great skill, handing it down from generation to generation. It is in fact two of Walter Calligaris' grandsons, Giacomo and Emanuele, who run the winery today.

Over the past few years, the Ca' Tullio winery has finally become a destination for many lovers of history and good wine. In fact, it has been included in the official FVG Tourism catalogue as one of the most beautiful places to visit.
