Prepotto, a small village in the Municipality of Duino-Aurisina, is looking on the Gulf of Trieste. It is located in the heart of Karst that distinguishes itself for its peculiar structure, formed mostly by particularly waterproof limestone. The dominant elements of Karst are the brightness of the stone and the red soil that covers some of these areas. The territory is frequently under the influence of Bora, a typical, cold and violent local wind that can exceed 120 km/h. The climate is influenced by continental weather on the plateau and by Mediterranean weather that brings milder weather conditions from the sea. In this conditions Benjamin cultivates his vineyards, named by the local toponyms Prulke, Ruje, Lehte etc.

All Zidarich’s vineyards are formed by the typical Carsic iron-red soil. The vines are planted on an altitude of 280 m a.s.l. and trained in the Guyot and alberello methods and are planted at a high density. The single vineyards are rather small, but cultivated with maximum attention, concentration and care.
