Flavio Basilicata and Silvana Forte, united by feelings and passion for wine, begin their adventure in the eighties and they do it right from the start with the right step and with the strictness that always accompany their work: at the beginning, they have nothing, so before they have planted the vines and, four years later, they have built the house, which is also the cellar.
Since then this is their dimension, their creature. The air you breathe in Le Due Terre is of great harmony and peace; everything flows quietly, despite the ferment of ideas and thoughts of the two skilled owners.
The vineyards, 4 hectares of land, has never increased, and this ensures Flavio to treat the vineyard in all its phases. Despite a few hectares of vineyards, the land has two different compositions, which explain the choice of the company’s name: on one side, red soils, on the other side, marl. The kind of viticulture practiced is essential, without the use of fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and botryticides: a real organic fact.
This Flavio and Silvana’s "non-interventionism" practice takes place even in the cellar: spontaneous fermentation without added yeast and sulfur, no fining, slight filtration bottle.
Each phase is characterized by an obsessive attention, both in the vineyard and in the cellar, plus a boundless love for their land have enabled Le Due Terre to carve out a leading role in the wine scene in Friuli.
