Discover the Legacy of Jermann Winery
The Origins of Jermann Winery
A historic winery in the Friuli region, the history of the Jermann family has its origins in Austria. Originally from Burgenland, in eastern Austria on the border with Hungary, Anton Jermann decided to settle in 1881 in Farra d'Isonzo, a town just a few kilometres from Slovenia. It was here that he founded the winery. Later, in the 1930s and 1940s, the estate, which was then run by Angelo and his wife Bruna, continued to develop both the vineyard and other agricultural activities, making the family successful. From this union of Angelo and Bruna was born Silvio. After graduating in oenology at the schools of Conegliano and San Michele, and after a year's sabbatical abroad to see what was being done elsewhere, Silvio decided to take over the estate in the 1970s.
Commitment to Organic Practices
With 200 hectares of vineyards, the estate is resolutely turned towards the future as it is managed organically with an emphasis on preserving biodiversity in the soil. The winery chooses not to use pesticides or other chemical products for treating their plots. In terms of white wine production, they cultivate indigenous grape varieties alongside Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. For red wines primarily Pinot Noir is grown; however they also cultivate rarer grape varieties such as Blaufränkisch.
