Discover Percoto

Percoto combines distillery history, historic buildings, and a designated route, making it a destination with several distinct facets. If you are looking for accommodation in Percoto, you can plan your stay around whether you are particularly interested in grappa and regional craft history, church and villa culture, or a route through the town.

Distillery history and local specialties

At Nonino Distilleries in Percoto, guided tours are available by prior reservation. This allows you to incorporate a visit into your travel plans in a targeted way. The history of the Nonino family also includes the distillery headquarters established by Orazio Nonino in Ronchi di Percoto. A defining moment in the company’s history dates to December 1, 1973: Giannola and Benito Nonino created the single-variety grappa Monovitigno® Grappa Nonino by distilling the pomace of Picolit grapes separately.

These details give Percoto a clear culinary and craft profile without reducing the town to a single attraction. Anyone wishing to take a guided tour should take the required reservation into account before planning their day.

Church, villa, and historic interiors

The history of San Martino Vescovo can also be viewed across several periods. The parish of San Martino Vescovo in Percoto was founded around 1500 after separating from the Pieve di Buttrio. The present-day Church of San Martino Vescovo was founded around 1700 and consecrated in 1751. This gives visitors interested in cultural history a differentiated perspective on the development of the parish community and the present church building.

Villa Frattina-Caiselli is located in the center of Percoto. It was built by the Frattina family in the 17th century; its park is open to the public. The central hall preserves most of the original furnishings. These were commissioned by the Caiselli family and created by Guarana and Antonio Carneo. The publicly accessible park thus offers a specific point of interest, while the furnishings of the central hall add to the estate’s art-historical significance.

Route through Percoto

The “10 Thousand Steps of Health” route reaches Percoto from Pavia di Udine via a local unpaved road. In the section through Percoto, Casa Colombare is mentioned as a building worth seeing, known as a 15th-century house. Anyone exploring the town as part of this route combines the walking section with individual historical points of reference.

This allows you to discover Percoto according to your interests: with a reserved guided tour at Nonino, a cultural and historical tour around San Martino Vescovo and Villa Frattina-Caiselli, or the documented route section from Pavia di Udine.
