Wines of Friuli
The Best Wineries Between Collio and Colli Orientali, Home of Great Italian Whites
Friuli Venezia Giulia is considered by many as the home of great Italian whites, thanks to denominations like Collio and Colli Orientali del Friuli, where Friulano, Ribolla Gialla, and Sauvignon express a unique minerality due to the ponca soils on which they are cultivated. This selection gathers the best wineries in the region, often small and managed by historic winemakers, capable of offering vertical tastings for those who want to go beyond a superficial tasting. The area, bordering Slovenia, combines high enological quality with an authentic and less formal hospitality compared to other more touristy wine regions. Perfect for true white wine enthusiasts seeking characterful labels. Book your tasting at the same price as the winery.
