Friuli-Venezia Giulia Wine Region Guide

Friuli-Venezia Giulia: Where Culture and Culinary Excellence Meet in Every Sip

EXPLORE ALL OUR GUIDES TO THE BEST ITALIAN WINE REGIONS

Last updated: May 24, 2024

Introduction

Situated at a crossroads of northeastern Italy, the Adriatic, Austria, and Slovenia, Friuli-Venezia is a poster child for multicultural Italy. Moreover, the region is unspoiled despite its rich history – Friuli was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until 1918 – and immense cultural treasures. But while there is a staggering amount of historical sights, from Roman ruins to Austro-Hungarian palaces, this is a destination where food and drink steal the show – both economically and culturally. You’re visiting Italy’s undisputed powerhouse of fine white wines: saline, aromatic, and beautifully complex. Of course, white winemaking has progressed enormously all over Italy over the past 20 years; regions as diverse as Trentino and Campania are now making exceptional whites. Yet the revolution started here, and Friuli-Venezia Giulia, to use its full moniker, remains in a league of its own.
