Now the estate is run by Giampaolo’s daughter Teresa Perusini, an art historian like her uncle, but also a keen farmer who divides her time between her studies and running the estate together with her husband Giacomo de Pace.
In accordance with our credo that a great wine is born on the vine, Perusini wine is produced only from the grapes of its own vineyard, all terraced on loam rock (known as ponca in Friuli) in a splendid position, the vines closely planted in accordance with strict criteria. The in-depth research into native vines that has become a byword for our vineyard over three generations.
In recent years the Azienda Perusini has sought to promote not just its wines but also its beautiful surroundings, with ever more visitors wanting to eat and stay locally. First an old farmhouse halfway up the hillside was converted into a restaurant. Today this restaurant offer to his costumers typical product and plates of our land.

The passion for art that has burnt in many a Perusini heart for generations has now found a place in the estate, as evidenced by the winery tower, designed by the architect Romano Burelli and based on the experimental MURST project, built in 2000-2003.
