Cantina Subida di Monte (GO)
In Cormòns in the Collio hills, there is one of the most beautiful wineries in Friuli Venezia Giulia, a project born in 1972 that has been enriched, with the arrival of the Scarpa family at the helm, with charming panoramic environments, a vinegar factory and an all-day restaurant inspired by the welcoming inns of the past.
It was the year 1972 when Luigi Antonutti, one of the deans of Friulian wine, in love with the land and the fruits that these hills provide, purchased a few hectares in the heart of the Collio Goriziano.
This is how the Azienda Agricola Subida di Monte was born, which has grown over the years, today occupying a total area of 10 hectares of vineyards, woods and fruit trees.
With the aim of projecting this reality towards the future, through a path made of tradition and innovation, in 2020 the leadership of the company passed to the Scarpa family of Agrotech Società Agricola. For the love of their territory, they started an “emotional” growth project with Andrea Antonutti, son of Luigi who manages the production chain.
We want to continue doing things well as farmers used to do in the past and become a gateway to the world for our beloved Collio.

A vision that can be touched with your hand in the new winery and tasting rooms inaugurated in 2024, a project by the Ak Plus architecture studio, which blends in with the surrounding vineyards thanks to a play of terraces, panoramic windows and levels dug into the hill.
Subida di Monte wines are produced with the utmost respect for nature and the territory, without the use of synthetic chemicals, pesticides and herbicides, with the aim of being the maximum expression of Collio, a hilly area in the province of Gorizia that extends close to the border with Slovenia, between the Isonzo and Judrio rivers.
The winery produces a selection of whites, including Fuart, 100% Friulian grape, and reds, including Poncaia, a Merlot aged in barriques, both award-winning and present in the elite of world wine guides.
Thanks to a partnership born with a Modena vinegar producer, Subida di Monte has also created a vinegar factory where an excellent must vinegar is produced.
All the products of the farm, from wines to vinegar and honey, can be tasted in the wonderful new tasting rooms of the winery characterized by a scenic window overlooking the barrel cellar with the possibility of continuing the tasting at the table, moving upstairs, to the Locanda Alle Vigne, a café, bistro and restaurant opened in 2024 by the Scarpa family.
An experience in Subida di Monte, whether for a visit to the winery or a personalized tasting, is truly a profound trip to discover the excellence of Friuli Venezia Giulia.
The Secret
The winery is characterized by an original stencil motif on the walls that was taken from a bas-relief discovered during the restoration. A detail that was also reported in some of the elegant embossed labels of the company’s wines.
