History
Parish records trace the family to the Cividale hills through Giobatta 'Tita' Zorzettig, born in 1902, who farmed the land as a sharecropper before the family took on the estate that became La Sclusa.
The winery takes its name from a spot in its vineyards where two streams meet to form the Corno; four generations of the family have since combined traditional vine-growing with modern winemaking on the Colli di Spessa hillsides.
