Producers
Fruscalzo
In the heart of Collio, one of the most important geographical areas of the Italian viticulture, the Fruscalzo family has been dedicated for three generations to the production of high quality wines. Since 1950, over the years, the philosophy in the care of the vineyards has remained unchanged over time.
Perseverance in choosing not to use herbicides and chemical fertilizers reinforces the conviction of obtaining wines of a high quality level. Today, both in the cellar and in the vineyards, using the most modern production systems, however, ancient knowledge is not forgotten, such as the harvest carried out exclusively by hand and the observance of the times dictated by the lunar phases.
Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Friuli-Venezia Giulia wine (or Friuli wine) is wine made in the northeastern Italian region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Once part of the Venetian Republic and with sections under the influence of the Austro-Hungarian Empire for some time, the wines of the region have noticeable Slavic and Germanic influences. There are 11 Denominazione di origine controllata (DOC) and 3 Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia area. The region has 3 Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT) designations Alto Livenza, delle Venezie and Venezia Giulia. Nearly 62% of the wine produced in the region falls under a DOC designation. The area is known predominantly for its white wines which are considered some of the best examples of Italian wine in that style. Along with the Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, the Friuli-Venezia Giulia forms the Tre Venezie wine region which ranks with Tuscany and Piedmont as Italy's world class wine regions.
