Portrait of Giorgio Colutta
i. Biography
Giorgio Colutta has led Colutta Wines in Manzano as CEO and founder since 1984, a role built on continuity rather than turnover. The company has stayed closely tied to his name because the work has remained tied to the same point of reference: one estate, one place, one long view of how a wine identity is held together over time.

Coming Up
Foundation in 1984 is the central fact here. Colutta has been built under Giorgio Colutta since then, with the company shaped by the discipline required to keep a producer legible year after year. That kind of authorship is less about expansion than consistency: setting the terms early, then maintaining them with enough precision that the house remains recognisable.
Where They Are Now
Colutta Wines is still led by Giorgio Colutta as CEO, with the founder role running from 1984 to the present. The significance of that span lies in upkeep: keeping a winery in motion without breaking its line of identity. In Manzano, that has meant holding the same base while carrying the founding structure forward, a long practice of stewardship rather than reset.
Signature
Giorgio Colutta's signature wines include Ribolla Gialla Sparkling Brut, Pinot Grigio DOC Friuli, Pinot Grigio DOC Colli Orientali, Pinot Grigio Skin Contact, and Sauvignon DOC. The range moves across familiar markers with clear intent: sparkling expression at one end, DOC bottlings that anchor the house in place, and a skin-contact Pinot Grigio that points to a more textural register. Read together, they describe a cellar shaped by variety within a stable frame, with each wine extending the Colutta name in a different mode.
