Fiegl is located in Oslavia, a village located on the gentle slopes north of Gorizia, on the northern edge of Italy and bordering Slovenia. Its historical origin can be traced back to a vineyard called Meja, which was purchased in 1782 under the name of Fiegl Valentino. Now more than two centuries later, brothers Alessio, Giuseppe and Rinaldo are running the estate. The property consists of 30 hectares of land, 25 of which are dedicated to vineyards.

Oslavia is the cradle of viticulture in the Collio, the most important wine area of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. The soil is rich in ponca (the local name for clayâ) and the climate is temperate, a result of the closeness of the Adriatic Sea and the presence of northeast winds. These create the perfect wine-growing conditions “for white wines especially“ and Fiegl's wines are a testament to just how perfect they can be.

The harvest, as well as most of the harvesting operations, is done by hand. Fiegl produces approximately 10,800 cases a year, between red and white. They use stainless steel tanks for the fermentation and then, later, for the maturation. For their Leopold line, maturation and aging takes place in barriques and in tonneaux.
