Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Main grapes: Pinot Grigio, Friulano and Merlot
Sub-regions: Friuli Grave, Collio, Colli Orientali
Climate: A bit of a mixed bag here; the Dolomite Mountains provide a cooling influence, but with that said the Adriatic Sea means it’s more of a warm maritime situation.
You should know... Friulano is the native white grape of the region, nothing that’ll knock your socks off but with a middle of the range acidity and body with a bit of apple and pear going on it’s perfect for a chilled, easy drinking tipple.
