Friuli-Venezia Giulia Wine Region

The Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, where winemaking dates back to Roman times, is located in northeastern Italy, with the Alps to the North and the Adriatic Sea to the South. Although small, this is one of the foremost Italian destinations for top-quality white (and red) wines.

The maritime climate and good soils create an ideal environment for growing vines and producing unique, high-quality wines. Friuli regional favorites from our experts at Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits include:

Pinot Grigio: This fine white wine has crisp, light, fruit flavors that go well with chicken, shellfish, rich fish and pastas. Try Ruffino Lumina Pinot Grigio, a medium bodied, lively, and elegant white wine; Santa Cristina Pinot Grigio, which is straw yellow in color and has delicate aromas of orange flowers, bananas and tropical fruit; or the Kris Pinot Grigio, which is vibrant and crisp and offers delicate aromas of acacia flower and citrus.

Sauvignon Blanc: One of the driest, crispest white wines, Sauvignon Blanc has a refreshing quality. This versatile wine works well with a range of foods, including chicken, seafood, cheese, oysters and vegetables and is suitable year-round. Enjoy the Bastianich Sauvignon Blanc, an excellent full-bodied wine from the hills of Friuli, or the highly regarded Vie Di Romans Piere Sauvignon Blanc with its classic varietal aromas of tomato leaf, exotic fruit and citrus that practically jump out of the glass.

Other Excellent Choices

Chardonnay: Chardonnay is the world’s most famous white wine grape, and Antinori Tormaresca Chardonnay from the Puglia region is a great entry. It has buttery aromas and spicy notes. It is pleasant enough to drink on its own, and pairs well with many different types of foods, including chicken, shellfish, white fish, pork, veal and vegetables.

Pinot Grigio-Sauvignon Blanc Blend: If you will be dining on white fish, Bertani Due Uve will make the perfect pairing. It is an elegant, fruity blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio that has been honored with a Silver Award from Mundus Vini and a Bronze from the Indy International Wine Competition.
