Although its history is a fairly brief one, having only originated in the late 1990s, Castello di Rubbia is rooted in the celebration of tradition. The estate’s orientation is expressed most demonstratively, perhaps, in its efforts to restore the castle (from which its name derives) in accordance with its original construction. Rubbia’s wine program reflects its relationship to the region’s past, as it is wholly dedicated to representing the Carso region’s indigenous vines—Terrano (technically a subvariety of Friuli’s indigenous Refosco), Vitovska, and Malvasia—admitting Cabernet Sauvignon as its only exception. Carso’s terroir is marked by several prominent features—unique red soils, dolinas (depressions), and chalky rock.
