Exploring Friuli Venezia Giulia: Land of Tradition and Breathtaking Landscapes

Rich Traditions and Breathtaking Landscapes The region of Friuli Venezia Giulia is a place of profound and memorable experiences, a combination of age-old traditions and spectacular landscapes. This borderland, which has experienced the lure of world wars, stretches from the Alps to the Adriatic, creating a mix of colours, sensations and scents that tell a centuries-old story. One cannot speak of the wines of Friuli without immersing oneself in the beauty and uniqueness of this region. With wine production representing 4% of Italy's total, Friuli is renowned for its high quality white wines, exported and appreciated all over the world.

Geographical Diversity and Quality Viticulture

With a surface area of 7924 km², Friuli Venezia Giulia is the fourth smallest region in Italy, but its impact is extraordinary. Bordering Austria to the north, Slovenia to the east, Veneto to the west and the Adriatic Sea to the south, this middle land has embraced the influences of Slavic, Italian and Austrian cultures. Autochthonous varieties such as Ribolla Gialla and Schioppettino combine with great international grapes such as Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet to create unique wines. In an area where mountains cover more than 42% of the territory, the landscape is dominated by the glaciers and mountain ranges of the Julian and Carnic Alps, etched over millennia by the force of the weather.

The Karst: Lunar Landscapes and Wines of Character

The Karst area in the province of Gorizia is one of the jewels of Friuli. The rocky and fascinating landscape is shaped by underground rivers and majestic caves. The white stone and red earth create a unique colour scenery. Teran, the 'Blood of Karst', is found here, an intense red with powerful tannins. Among the whites, the delicate Malvasia Istriana and the fine Vitovska stand out.

The Collio: Expressions of Excellence

Collio, an area that also extends into Slovenia, is famous for its expressive wine production. Ribolla Gialla reigns supreme in this land of ancient marly rocks and stratified clays, known as 'ponka'. This mineral-rich soil lends character to the wines, including the famous Collio Bianco DOC. International grapes such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon produce reds of great quality.

Colli Orientali: Land of Varieties and Passiti

To the east of Udine lie the Colli Orientali, a representative area of Friuli. This is where the renowned Ramandolo DOCG raisin wine is produced, made from Verduzzo, accompanied by the precious Picolit. This area boasts whites such as Chardonnay and Sauvignon, as well as Bordeaux-style reds. Among the local reds, Schioppettino, Tazzalenghe and Refosco dal Penducolo Rosso stand out, contributing to the rich Colli Orientali DOC specification.

Grave: Bordeaux terroir in Friuli

The Grave area, between Pordenone and Udine, has a pebbly soil reminiscent of the Bordolese. This environment is ideal for growing grapes such as Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

Information about Friuli-Venezia Giulia

Region	Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Country	Italy
Morphology of the land	Plain: 38% Hill: 19% Mountain: 43%
Climate and soil	Thanks to the protection of the Carnic Alps and the proximity of the sea, the climate in the flat part is generally of a maritime type, with temperatures not very high; in the northern part of the region the climate is typically alpine. There is abundant rainfall in the Karst. Where there is no protection of the barrier of the Alps, the icy 'bora' blows, a cold and icy wind, but which brings good weather; manages to reach 100 km / h, with gusts that touch 150 km / h; and even reach the coast of the Marche through the Adriatic. In Trieste we find the bora, on average ten times a year, which also appears as a moderate wind, commonly called 'borin'.
History	The name of this region indicates a composition of two distinct geographical areas, but both derive from the Latin 'gens Iulia' (the family to which Julius Caesar belongs). Friuli originally 'Forum Julii' was the name of a shopping center (forum means market), built by the Romans, in the current city of Civedale. The name of the city then extended to the whole region. Venezia Giulia, on the other hand, is a recent name reminiscent of the Venetians and the 'Gens Iulia'. After the First World War the territory of the current region was part of the Veneto region, together with some areas of the former Yugoslavia. After the Second World War the nine-tenths of Venice Giulia were lost and the Friuli region was reunited with what remained of the same, the current Region was established.
Typical products	The most valuable DOC are Colli Orientali del Friuli, or "COF", north-east of Udine, and Collio goriziano, or simply "Collio", coming from the province of Gorizia. Some of the vineyards of western Primorska are also part of these DOCs: the latter, while politically part of Slovenia, geographically belong to Friuli. Some winemakers own vineyards on both sides of the border. In other parts of Italy, also in Friuli-Venezia Giulia there are coopertative wineries, but this region, unlike Trentino-Alto Adige, is dominated mainly by family-owned farms. The most widespread vine in this region is the Friulian: so because of a diatribe with the Hungarians, the vine has been renamed for centuries known as Friulian.
Typical dishes	The appetizers are unmistakable: the San Daniele ham, sweet and soft DOP product, served in very thin slices cut by hand, with figs or melon, or that of Suaris, smoked with spruce, juniper and flat wild woods, which it can be served sliced or in cubes with cumin seeds. Among the first courses there are the Carnia agnolotti, pasta stuffed with ricotta, boiled spiny, candied citron, raisins and breadcrumbs, the cialzon of Timau, another pasta stuffed with potatoes, spices, raisins, aromatic herbs, seasoned with smoked ricotta or other grated cheese and melted butter. Among the cheeses stand out the montasio, PDO with different levels of maturation, the cheese of the cit spread, the saltarello, the dairy of Fogagna, cow's milk cheese with a sweet taste, which can undergo a maturation ranging from two to eighteen months. Among the desserts there are fruit and jam omelettes and apple, pear, apricot and peach fritters. Very special is the gubana, a sweet dough spread and filled with almonds, walnuts, pine nuts, citron and candied orange, chocolate, all flavored with rum and cinnamon, arranged in a spiral and baked.
