The wines of Livon

Livon is a family business considered one of the best in the Italian wine region of Friuli. The family has made red and especially white wines there for more than half a century. Business is thriving. A few years ago the family bought a winery in Chianti and one in Montefalco to keep up in the competitive Italian wine market.

Livon's founder is Dorino Livon. In 1964 he started a small wine business in Friuli. Step by step he expanded his vineyards. In the 1990s his sons Valneo and Tonino joined the business, and they had a major influence on its direction. Where father Dorino was used to blending his grapes, the sons pushed for diversification: a cru line with wines from grapes from a single vineyard, and a line below that with wines blended from grapes from different vineyards. It worked - Livon's reputation grew, and today the winery is known as one of the best in the region. By now the third generation is on board: Matteo Livon.

Livon's vineyards lie in the best appellations of Friuli, such as Colli Orientali and Collio. Among others, they grow Friulano, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Picolit. The Livon family certainly isn't sitting still - in recent years they have bought wineries in Chianti and in the Montefalco appellation in Umbria. In the latter area, they make lovely wines from the Sagrantino grape under the name Colsanto. We currently have two wines from Livon in our range. You can view all our wines from Livon here.
