A modern face of Italian Friuli that will captivate you. When it comes to Italian sparkling wine, most of us immediately picture the hills of Valdobbiadene. But if you're looking for something that breaks the mold, something with incredible panache and unbelievable purity, you have to travel a bit further east—to the Friuli region. It is there, in the picturesque Colli Orientali area, that the Tenimenti Civa winery, with its Zoe Biele brand, is located, and that is what we will focus on today.
Wine as a reflection of nature. Valerio Civa founded the winery with a clear goal: to show that even in the modern world, wines that are 100% faithful to their land can be produced. His philosophy is simple—minimum intervention, maximum care for the vineyard. The result is wines that are crystal clear, fresh, and carry the energy of the northern Italian sun and mountain air. While this winery also offers Prosecco from the Glera grape, the king of Italian bubbles, their Ribolla Gialla is an elegant queen. This ancient variety from Friuli has been experiencing a massive comeback in recent years, and Tenimenti Civa is one of its highest-quality producers. In the bottle, a sparkling wine with incredible sparkle, notes of citrus, white flowers, and subtle minerals awaits you. It’s a wine that "wakes you up." It is light, fresh, and drinks beautifully even during a hot afternoon.
Design that adorns both table and blanket. At Tenimenti Civa, they know we drink with our eyes too. Their bottles are a symbol of Italian elegance. Minimalist labels and premium glass make these wines the ideal accompaniment for our EXCLUSIVE picnic baskets. When you take such a bottle out of the ice in the middle of the park, you immediately know that this day will be special.
Celebration of life. As the name suggests (Zoe = Greek for life), this range is a celebration of joy. Whether you reach for their Prosecco or their varietal wines, you always get top quality backed by specific people and honest work. Wines from Tenimenti Civa are made for pairing with Italian specialties. The acidity of their wines contrasts perfectly with the fat of prosciutto and highlights the delicacy of fresh cheeses. When you are hesitating over which bottle to choose at our event at the Břevnov Monastery, try Tenimenti Civa. It is a path to discovering new flavors of Italy that you will fall in love with at the first sip.
Cheers to beautiful experiences in the grass! 🥂✨
