This new enterprise takes place on a territory who marked the history of Europe, for centuries a theater of wars: the triangle between Austria, Slovenia and Italy. Now, wine becomes a symbol of peace.
Many French personalities have loved this land, from Elisa Baciochi, sister of Napoleon, to Charles the X, who is buried with the Count of Chambord in the monastery of Castagnevizza/Kostanjevica, to the Count Latour, who in 1850 brought French grape varieties to that county.
In 1787, the Empress Queen Maria Theresa of Austria published the first classification of the Grand Crus of the County. This classification was brought to light by the historian Stefano Cosma. Charles-Louis de Noüe, thanks to the discovery of the classification of the sovereign’s wines, is founder of the «Empress-Queen Maria-Theresa Cru Classification’s Knight Association».
For the first time since Maria-Theresa, we can taste and discover all the Crus from the old classification by the best winemakers of Collio, Brda, Isonzo, Vipava, Aquileia, Carso.
Charles-Louis de Noüe and Alis Marinic promote the auction of the Classification Crus in favor of the Monastery of Castagnevizza.
Maître Stéphane Aubert, Associate Director and Auctioneer of Artcurial, will lead the first auction of the Monastery of Castagnevizza / Kostanjevica, which will take place on 29 October 2022 in Nova Gorica, just one hour from Venice.
