Friuli Venezia Giulia

Located at the Northernmost point of the Adriatic Sea, Friuli Venezia Giulia is directly to the East of Trentino-Alto Adige and Northeast of Veneto. The region’s name is not derived from its proximity to Venice — the area was known as “Venetia et Histria” in ancient times and was a wealthy province of the Roman Empire for centuries. The area came under the control of nearby Venice in the 15th century, formally becoming part of Italy in 1866.

Split between mountainous terrain at the territory’s Northern Edge and coastal plains at its South, the terroir of Friuli Venezia Giulia is extremely diverse. Much of the winemaking is concentrated in three areas — Collio near the Slovenian border, Colli Orientali along the Adriatic coast, and Friuli Grave further in land near Udine. Asin Trentino-Alto Adige, the winemaking traditions here are more Germanic in their method. Though pre-disposed to the production of great white wine (Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio, Ribolla Gialla), some notable red wines (Pinot Noir, Merlot, Refosco, and Pignolo) can also be found.
