The Friuli Annia DOC appellation is an overlooked gem from the Friuli Venezia Giulia wine region in Italy. Known for its varietal diversity and unique soils, this appellation produces wines that are distinguished by their freshness and aromatic complexity. The continental climate, moderated by the sea breezes from the Adriatic, creates ideal conditions for viticulture.
The white wines of Friuli Annia, often based on Friulano, Pinot Grigio, or Verduzzo, offer aromas of white fruits, flowers, and a pronounced minerality. Their balanced acidity makes them versatile companions for seafood and vegetable dishes. The red wines, primarily made from Merlot, Cabernet Franc, or Refosco, are rich and structured, with notes of ripe red fruits and an elegant tannic framework.
Through traditional winemaking techniques paired with careful innovation, the Friuli Annia winemakers manage to create wines that perfectly reflect the rich and varied terroir of the region. As a wine enthusiast or cellar manager, incorporating Friuli Venezia Giulia wines can bring unmatched diversity and authenticity to your collection.
