The cellar

The Livon company was born in 1964 from the passion and love of Dorino Livon for its territory. Today Livon is led by the third generation of the family with two separate cellars, one for the vinification of red grapes and the other for white ones. Recently the winery has become a set of several companies that collaborate to produce high quality wines always keeping in mind the love for the Friulian territory.
