Friuli Venezia Giulia
The most North-Easterly Italian region, Friuli–Venezia Giulia is known predominantly for its white wines which are considered some of the best examples of Italian wine in that style and called “superwhites” in contraposition to the “Supertuscany”.
The wines of the region have distinct Slavic and Germanic influences. There are 11 DOC and 3 DOCG wines in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia area. While white wine dominates Friuli wine production, nearly 40% of the production is red with Merlot being the leading red wine grape.
The climate of the region is distinguished with very warm days and chilly nights that help maintain a balance in the grape between acidity and sugar levels and allows the grapes a long, slow growing season.
