The Ponte del Diavolo vineyards take their name from the spectacular medieval bridge in nearby Cividale. The story goes that the devil struck a bargain with the townspeople, promising to make them a bridge in return for the soul of the first living thing to cross it. The cunning citizens sent a dog or a cat across, depending on the variation of the story, thereby saving themselves and gaining a wonderful bridge. Vineyards are located in Grave del Friuli, in the southern part of Friuli. The vines are grown on alluvial plains with stony soils with a high limestone content, producing grapes with great concentration of flavour.
