Iole Grillo

Housed in an historic 18th-century mansion surrounded by the vineyards of the Colli Orientali del Friuli, Grillo Iole was founded in the early 1970s out of the Grillo family’s passion for viticulture. Today, the winery cultivates nine hectares of vineyards on the hills of Prepotto, focusing on native grape varieties—including Schioppettino di Prepotto, a symbol of this region—and adopting cultivation practices geared toward sustainability and respect for the environment.

The historic villa houses a charming wine cellar with a barrel room, restored to highlight the ancient stone walls, as well as a cozy agritourism property nestled among villages and vineyards. Guided tours and tastings on the panoramic terrace offer visitors an up-close look at the winery’s philosophy and an experience that combines hospitality, wine culture, and the landscape in one of the most renowned wine-growing regions of Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
