The Land
The rolling hills of Collio, in northeastern Italy’s Friuli-Venezia Giulia, form a patchwork of vineyards perched between the Julian Alps and the Adriatic Sea. This is a land of ancient seabeds, where “ponca” soil—friable marl and sandstone—imparts unmistakable minerality to the wines. The cool alpine breezes preserve freshness, while warm Adriatic currents encourage full ripeness, yielding whites that balance precision with power.
The Wine
A pure expression of Collio’s historic terroir, the 2021 Edi Keber Collio Bianco is a field blend of Friulano, Malvasia Istriana, and Ribolla Gialla—varieties that have thrived here for centuries. Fermented and aged in cement to maintain clarity and texture, the wine is taut yet generous. Aromas of white peach, lemon zest, and wildflowers unfold with hints of crushed herbs and flinty minerality. The palate is structured yet vibrant, with layers of orchard fruit, saline depth, and a long, almond-tinged finish. Electric in youth but built to evolve, this is a white wine that speaks in both nuance and authority.
The People
Edi Keber and his son, Kristian, are purists—devoted to preserving Collio’s winemaking heritage through a singular focus: one wine, one terroir. Eschewing international varieties, they champion the indigenous grapes that define this region, crafting wines that are both soulful and uncompromising. Their Collio Bianco stays true to that philosophy—an honest, living expression of land and tradition, bottled with precision and passion.

Practicing Organic vineyard farming involves growing grapes using organic methods—avoiding synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides—but without formal certification. Wineries adopting this approach prioritize environmental health, soil vitality, and biodiversity, using natural practices such as composting, cover cropping, and manual pest control. Many small wineries opt for practicing organic methods rather than pursuing official organic certification, primarily due to the significant cost, paperwork, and time commitment involved in certification processes. As a result, practicing organic is a popular choice among boutique and artisanal producers who remain committed to sustainable agriculture while managing budgetary constraints.
