Collio and Colli Orientali: Home of Great Italian Whites
Friuli Venezia Giulia is considered by many as the home of great Italian whites: the Collio and Colli Orientali del Friuli, with their ponca soils, produce Friulano, Ribolla Gialla, and Sauvignon with great minerality, while the Aquileia area faces the sea. Often small-sized wineries, managed by historic winemakers, offer vertical tastings to truly understand the territory. Excellent pairing with San Daniele ham and mountain cheeses. Book your winery visit in Friuli Venezia Giulia at the same price as the producer.
