Located in Upper West Side, Manhattan, Wine Affairs is a prominent wine distributor bringing the finest wines from around the world to New York City. Among their offerings is the esteemed Casa Vinicola Antonutti, a celebrated winery from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region in northeastern Italy. This winery, with nearly a century of history, has been passionately operated by the Antonutti family across four generations, dedicated to creating wines that embody the unique terroir and heritage of Friuli.
The Legacy of Casa Vinicola Antonutti
Founded in 1921, Casa Vinicola Antonutti cultivates approximately 50 hectares of vineyards in Grave del Friuli, a region famous for its stony soils and cool microclimate, ideal for producing high-acid wines with rich mineral notes. This area is nourished by the gravelly deposits left by rivers such as the Meduna and Tagliamento, which provide exceptional drainage and concentration of flavors in the grapes. The result is wines with a fresh, vibrant character, encapsulating Friuli’s distinct climate and terroir.
Friuli's wines are highly sought after for their complexity and balance, often described as fresh yet layered with aromatic depth. Casa Vinicola Antonutti showcases the best of these qualities, particularly in their Pinot Grigio, Traminer Aromatico, Friulano, and Refosco. Each of these varietals captures a unique expression of Friuli, from the floral elegance of Traminer Aromatico to the bold, earthy qualities of Refosco. Known for their versatility, these wines pair beautifully with a wide range of cuisines, making them perfect additions to Wine Affairs' offerings in NYC.
A Commitment to Sustainability and Innovation
At the core of Antonutti’s philosophy is a commitment to sustainable viticulture, a priority they share with Wine Affairs. The winery employs eco-friendly practices that emphasize the health of the soil and surrounding ecosystem, including reduced chemical interventions and methods to conserve natural resources. This dedication to sustainability resonates with Wine Affairs' mission to support organic and environmentally conscious winemakers, offering their customers not only a taste of excellent wines but also a sustainable choice for the planet.
