Collio winemakers

Since 1923

Our origins

1923: when it all began

Blazic family has lived in Zegla, heart of Collio region nested in the hills near small town Cormons, since 1923.

Here, during the 1920s, most families had to face the reconstruction effort of all the properties and vineyards damaged by the First World War. This was the beginning of a new era in winemaking, changing local viticulture to a research of quality and excellence.

Blazic today

Harmony between tradition and innovation

Franco, Cinzia and their son Michele, the actual keepers of the traditional winemaking secrets, have inherited an invaluable winemaking expertise from the family’s past and are proudly carrying on the legacy of their great-grandfather, balancing the traditional viticulture of knowledge and passion for old vines and native grapes, with a new agronomical approach.

Each new vintage represents an opportunity for innovation and new technologies, integrating them harmoniously in our production philosophy. Our winery has been continuously evolving, while maintaining a firm respect for the surrounding landscape and environment, employing cutting- edge technologies that allowed for production of even more extraordinary wines, mirroring at best the breathtaking landscapes of our Zegla and Vigne Alte vineyards.
