​

The Fernanda Cappello estate is to the north of the D.O.C Friuli Grave area: it is a particularly favoured area because of the quality of the wines, where the flood plains and the moraine hills, between Lestans and Sequals, can be compared to the "graves" of Bordeaux.

In contrast to other flat lands, this flood plain, poor, skeletal, made of dolomitic limestone fragments, is able to produce wines of good quality thanks to the fact that the stony areas, reflect the light and heat needed for the grapes to mature from below the plants during the day, and at night continue to emit the heat accumulated during the warmer hours.
