Discover the distinctive wines of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, a northeastern Italian region where Alpine foothills meet Slovenian borderlands, and explore the indigenous grape varieties, celebrated orange wines, and rich cultural tapestry that make this one of Italy's most compelling wine destinations.
This class examines the major wine denominations of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, covering the geography and climate of the region, the diverse range of indigenous and international grape varieties grown there, and the significance of the region's acclaimed "orange wines," which have garnered international attention for their amber hues and complex flavors. The session also introduces the foods and cultural traditions of the region, providing essential context for understanding these wines. A portion of the class reviews northern Italian wine regions covered in prior sessions.
