The wine region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Italian benchmark of great whites of elegance and minerality. Emblematic Friulano with notes of fresh almond, pear and white flowers, taut Ribolla Gialla, precise Pinot Grigio, lively Sauvignon and balanced Chardonnay. Rare sweet Picolit (DOCG), saline Malvasia Istriana. Rising reds: fruity spicy Refosco, more tannic Pignolo and Schioppettino.
The word of the wine: Over-ripeness
Characteristic of grapes harvested late, rich in sugar, which give wines often mellow and marked by candied aromas.
