Friuli

Tucked into Italy's northeastern corner, bordering Slovenia and Austria, Friuli Venezia Giulia is one of Italy's most exciting wine regions. Renowned above all for its exceptional white wines — including Pinot Grigio, Friulano, Ribolla Gialla and the complex Ramato — the region combines Alpine freshness with Mediterranean warmth to produce wines of remarkable elegance and aromatic intensity. Friuli is also home to some of Italy's most innovative winemakers, pioneering natural and orange wine production long before it became a global trend.
