What is Friulano wine?
Friulano is a native Italian white grape grown mainly in Friuli Venezia Giulia, close to the Slovenian border. The region is famous for producing some of Italy’s most elegant whites thanks to its cool climate, hillside vineyards and mineral-rich soils.
Friulano is known for:
• dry style
• subtle fruit
• gentle almond notes
• light herbal character
• clean, savoury finish
Unlike very aromatic grapes, Friulano focuses on balance and texture, making it a favourite among food lovers.
