The vineyards are located on the hills around Buje, at 220-250 m above sea level, at the Contarini position. The ideal microclimate enables the production of grapes, which, when ripe, retain sufficient acidity suitable for obtaining fruitiness and balance of the wine, and the mineral soil of white earth supports drinkability with its distinct mineral notes.

Deagrassi family started producing wine to meet the needs of a personal catering business, but not long after that, in the early nineties, it evolved into a complete and exclusive dedication to wine. The first bottle to be dressed up in Degrassi winery clothing was released with the 1996 vintage mark on it. Committed from the very beginning to superior quality and the preservation of continuity, Degrassi family creates wines that bring people together, inviting them to share special moments, carried by the simple rituals of easy living. Moreno and his father Nino are respisible for the quality offered for many years now by the brand Degrassi. Moreno, an aficionado, connoisseur and creator of wines and his father Nino, as well as the entire winery team are working in continuous communication and that is the prerequisite for excellence of this vinery.
