Friuli Venezia Giulia

Friuli-Venezia Giulia has always been the land of great whites and has achieved extraordinary fame for what some call the "superwhites."

Recently, Friuli Venezia Giulia was the battleground for a community-level dispute with Hungary regarding the right to continue calling the wine produced with the Tocai Friulano grape "Tocai," causing confusion with the well-known Hungarian sweet wine Tokaji. Italy lost the case in 2007, and since 2011 wines produced with Tocai Friulano are respectively called "Friulano" in Friuli Venezia Giulia and "Tai" in Veneto.

The region is divided into a mountainous area to the north, hilly terrain in the pre-Alpine arc, an alluvial plain, and a coastal area.
The northern part of the plain is suitable for the cultivation of white grape varieties, while the southern part is more favorable for black grape varieties.
To the east, in the area bordering Slovenia, the plain extends to the foothills of the Karst: here viticulture is challenging due to the limestone rocks eroded by water, and often it is only possible on terraces supported by retaining walls made of sandstone blocks called "pastini."

Colli Orientali

The DOC Friuli Colli Orientali extends over a territory that covers the central-eastern area of the Province of Udine, near the border with Slovenia. The soils of the Colli Orientali are composed of alternating layers of marl (limestone clays) and sandstone (calcified sands), called "ponca" in Friulian.
The easy erodibility of the predominantly marly soils has led to a gentle terrain, with elevations below 200 meters above sea level. Everywhere there are terraces. Here, the "Superwhites" are born, a definition that suits well a denomination that includes 12 types of white wines and the "dolce", to which 11 reds are added.

The controlled denomination of Friuli Colli Orientali boasts five subzones called respectively: Cialla, Pignolo di Rosazzo, Ribolla Gialla di Rosazzo, Schioppettino di Prepotto, and Refosco di Faedis.
The magic of the Friuli Colli Orientali DOC is reflected in its ponca soils, where superb white wines and enchanting reds are born.
