Duca Catemario is a Friuli-based Italian wine label focused on expressive, regional wines that combine freshness, minerality and food-friendly structure. The range currently centres on Pinot Grigio from Collio DOC and Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso from Friuli DOC, drawing on the cool conditions, Adriatic influence and fossil-rich ponca soils of north-eastern Italy. The brand story traces back to Duke Eugenio Catemario di Quadri, who relocated from southern Italy to Friuli around the time of World War I and, through marriage to the Marquise Torriani Felissent, became connected to vineyard holdings in the Friulian hills. Today, the wines reflect a precise, place-led Friulian style, while sustainability remains a priority in the vineyards.

Distinctive Friulian Terroir Based in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, with Collio’s cool nights and ponca soils contributing freshness, salinity, flinty detail and minerality.

Regional Focus A compact range built around two classic regional expressions: Pinot Grigio Collio DOC and Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso Friuli DOC.

Textural, Food-Friendly Style The wines balance ripe fruit, savoury detail, bright acidity and elegance.

Sustainability Credentials The vineyards source 70% of power needs via solar panels and use low-impact pesticides in the vines.
