Bastianich

What Bastianich does

Bastianich is a family-owned Italian winery founded in 1997, operating 27 hectares of contiguous vineyard across two sub-zones of the Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC in Cividale del Friuli, Udine. The estate produces wine from indigenous Friulian grape varieties — Friulano, Ribolla Gialla, Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, and Schioppettino — cultivated on the region's distinctive 'ponca' clay-marly soil using sustainable viticulture practices. The product portfolio is organized into the Linea Cru and Linea Vini Orsone ranges, complemented by Vespa Bianco (€25), Vespa Rosso (€27), Plus (€30), and an entry-level Ribolla Gialla (€15), with non-wine adjacencies including a cosmetics line, wooden gift boxes, and seasonal selections.

The business operates almost exclusively through direct-to-consumer channels: a Shopify-based e-commerce storefront on bastianich.com offering home delivery in Italy (free over €69, with a 10% VINO10 discount code), and on-site cellar visits at the Cividale del Friuli estate that function as a wine tourism and direct sales channel. There is no disclosed wholesale, HoReCa, or distributor infrastructure, and the operating geography is limited to Italy, although the website supports Italian and English. Marketing relies on the owned site, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and an email newsletter, with the target customer being Italian domestic wine enthusiasts alongside a secondary international audience.

The company is privately held by the Bastianich family, with no parent organization, no institutional investment, no M&A activity, and no funding rounds disclosed. Headcount sits in the 11–50 employee range, consistent with an artisanal small-estate producer. Legal entity is Bastianich, registered in Italy with P.IVA 02475400301; the operating status is active, with functioning e-commerce and a current 2024 vintage Ribolla Gialla listed for sale.
