Friuli Italian Wines

The passion of the Friuli-Venezia-Giulia wine region of Italy, bottled and brought to you. This is where Friuli Italian Wines comes in.

Friuli Italian Wines is the fruit of a shared passion for wine, desire to unite Italian and American culture not only in life but in work, love, and friendship of three business savvy young professionals, the dreamers and founders of this business. In early 2014 the three teamed up, determined to make a long-standing dream into a reality. Emily, originally from the Bay Area and from a high-tech an

d business background, her husband Alex, coming out of Friuli with extensive experience as a business owner in the world famous Italian furniture sector and Patrick, an expert sommelier from Friuli bringing a wealth of experience with one of the most globally famed Italian companies, Fiat, mutually crossed paths and immediately recognized the perfect balance between design, art, business, finance, charisma, dreams and business drive that was present amongst the three of them. Most importantly, the three connected on a shared passion for wine from the Friuli region, and a strong desire to connect people through the passionate story and culture of the region and the beautiful wines it produces. Together, this American-Italian team presents a dream, an experience, and a little-known region in one of the most beautiful, elegant countries of the world, Italy. Friuli-Venezia-Giulia - a region in which all three founders are deeply rooted and connected, and a region that historically has remained under the radar of the global wine movement, a true hidden treasure. This unspoiled territory provides life to extremely rooted and proud individuals, grown and brought into the world with care and love, much like its grapes. Italy’s northeastern-most region is the crossroads of Europe’s Latin, Germanic and Slavic cultures. Friuli’s heavy ties to its roots have created a very strong identity reflected in the region’s wines. The wineries are long-standing, old familial wineries, located on a variety of the regions many terrains, ranging from hilltops, to rocky mountains, to flat plains creating a landscape for some glorious grape varietals that the US can only imagine, such as Ribolla Gialla, Friulano, and Refosco. These wines enjoy a high degree of exclusivity outside Italy because most are consumed domestically and not exported. The small degree of exportation is usually to other close European countries and a very small percentage makes it to New York with large importers but gets lost among the more widely known wines. The mission of the company is to bring the culture of Friuli and its wine to the US. The market is primed and ready – US wine drinkers are consuming more wine than ever, there is an increasing interest in Italian wines, and there is a gap in the market for this region’s products but an ever-growing interest and buzz surrounding them.

At Cabert, the wine business is a family affair 🥂

Cabert's winery is located in Bertiolo in the province of Udine. Founded in 1960, Cantina di Bertiolo processes the grapes of 60 winegrowers who are, at the same time, the shareholders of Cabert.

The winegrowers have centuries of passion behind them, as well as a sincere attention for their vines, and a cultural heritage handed down from generation to generation. 🍷

We love Cabert Cherubi Rosé for summer sipping. It’s a must try! Have you tried it yet? ✨

Need a new summer appetizer idea? Look no further than prosciutto e melone 🍈

Salty cured prosciutto with sweet juicy melon is a flavor match made in heaven. Pair it with a crisp and bright white wine like Canus Ribolla Gialla! 🥂

This pairing comes from our social media manager Verity. She lives in the Italian region of Tuscany, where prosciutto e melone is a summer staple. We’ll forgive her this time for not using Prosciutto di San Daniele 😉

What’s your favorite summertime food and wine pairing? ✨

Did you know the name "Canus" comes from the Latin for grey hair and old age? Here in Friuli, when we hear Canus we know you're talking about amazing wines 😉

Canus is a small, family-run wine producer in the Gramogliano hills of the Friuli Colli Orientali DOC zone. Their vineyard is perfectly located; receiving breezes off the Adriatic Sea, protection from the Alps, and the highly mineral Ponca soil that used to be covered by the sea. 🍇

The name Canus alludes to the wisdom and the benefits of aging, and it is this philosophy that drives their work. They celebrate the tradition and territory, all washed down with a bit of Friulian know-how. This includes preserving the health of the soil by only using organic fertilizers. 🌱

Canus Ribolla Gialla is some of the best out there. They make a still and brut version that perfectly express this crisp and easy-drinking native varietal. 🥂

We bet you’ve never seen a vineyard like THIS! 🤯

The vineyard of Bortolusso merges into the lagoon, with the sea rising up between the raised vines. The grape roots grasp the mixed sea soil, giving the wine a characteristic saline and mineral flavor.⁠ 🌊

Vini Bortolusso is a family-run 45 hectare vineyard in the unique Carlino area of the Friuli Annia region. They make a mix of local traditional varieties like Friuliano and Malvasia, and international favorites such as Chardonnay and Merlot. 🍇

In particular, we recommend you try their award-winning Sauvignon or the fruity and elegant Franconia! 🍷

Straight outta Carso…comes Castelvecchio 😎

Castelvecchio Azienda Agricola is one of Friuli's historical wineries. They've been producing delicious wines since 1780. The Terraneo family has been working their magic in the vineyards and cellars at Castelvecchio since 1986. 🍇

The Carso region where they are located has gone through a long history of challenges, but this region has always held onto its rolling vineyards and continued strength in its wine production. 🍷

⁠Today the family works together to focus on promoting the great wines of Friuli using organic practices.⁠ 🌱

You’ve seen Luca a lot on our socials, and for a good reason! Their Malvasia has won the Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri award, and their other wines are always best sellers. 🏅

Personally, we recommend always having a bottle of their Cabernet Franc on hand. For you white wine lovers, you gotta try Vitovska! 🥂

Have you tried Castelvecchio wines yet? ✨

Il Carpino are masters of low-intervention wines. The rich colors and flavors have to be experienced to be believed! 🍷

Il Carpino is a family-run winery. They are located very close to the border with Slovenia. They strive to express the unique character of their territory and grapes through organic farm practices and minimal intervention wine-making techniques.⁠ 🌱

Apart from being incredible winemakers, they are also treasured friends. And while it may seem biased, trust us, you'll fall in love with their wines at first sip. ❤

Happy International Riesling Day! 🥂

There's a lot to love about this aromatic varietal from Germany. But what we love the most is how versatile it is. It can be made in dry, semi-sweet, sweet, and sparkling white wine styles, plus it takes on the terroir of Friuli beautifully.

Marco Cecchini of Az. Agr. Cecchini Marco has been making organic wine before it was trendy. It's just his philosophy. 🌱

But Marco did not have dreams of being a farmer! He was studying finance at university when his grandfather called him up and asked for help harvesting his wild vines. 🍇

He quickly realized that he wanted to be a farmer and make wine more than anything else. After he finished university, he moved to the countryside. 🚜

Fast forward to now, Marco and his wife and daughters live at the Cecchini winery in the Colli Orientali del Friuli zone in Faedis, about halfway between Udine and Slovenia. His wines are organic, and he even hosts some beehives for some local beekeepers. 🐝

Marco grows both native and international varietals. The love and care he puts into his wines comes through in each glass of utter elegance. You can grab the Cecchini Riesling and orange wine Verduzzo on our site https://www.friulitalianwines.com/collections/vendors?q=Marco%20Cecchini

It's not called the Ferrari of rosè for nothing 🩷

Pittaro Brút Rose from Vigneti Pietro Pittaro is a work of art. Delicate red fruit aromas tickle the nose alongside those of breadcrust thanks to a minimum of two years aging with the yeasts. The lively perlage makes this wine a party in a glass (or coupe, for thegram)! 🥂

We love this wine with appetizers to kick off an evening with friends or a night in with your significant other. ✨

Don't forget, you'll save 15% off this and other rosé wines until the last day of February. Don't miss out on our rosé wine sale! Shop now https://www.friulitalianwines.com/collections/rose-wines

Share if you agree! 🍾 May 25th is National Wine Day. We love any excuse to honor our industry and celebrate what we do: bringing carefully crafted Friuli Italian wines to you ❤️ What are you sipping on today?

3 reasons why you should ❌ NOT ❌ hold your wine glass by the bowl: 1️⃣ The heat from your hand will change the temperature of the wine. 2️⃣ It’s hard to swirl the glass properly. 3️⃣ When you bring the glass to your nose to smell the wine, you might catch a whiff of a non-wine scent coming from your body. 👃🏻 Think hand soap, hand sanitizer, laundry detergent, lotion, perfume or cologne. 🧼 ✨ BONUS reason: You get finger prints all over the glass which is just downright unsightly. Wine lovers prefer to hold their wine glass by the stem or the base. This helps us avoid all the problems listed above! How do you hold your wine glass? 🍷 #wineeducation #winetips #winehacks #wineetiquette #winelover

Save this reel for when you’re shopping for new red wines🍷 Friuli Venezia Giulia is renowned for its white wines, but the red wines are something special. ✨ Start with something familiar like Pinot Nero (a.k.a. Pinot Noir) to get a taste of Friuli’s land. For the adventurous, Refosco and Tazzelenghe will take you for a ride! 🍇 Finally, Pignolo is unique and complex, totally different between producers and aging for 10 years before making its way to you. 🍷 Which Friuli red wine will you try first? #friuliwine #redwinelover #boutiquewine #uniquewines #drinkitalian #italianwinelover Music: Pepper Candy Musician: EnjoyMusic Site: https://enjoymusic.ai

Red wines from Friuli are perfect for warming yourself up when the weather is cooling down. 🍷🍂 Our red wines are big on flavor without being too heavy or overwhelming. Great to pair with creamy autumn squash dishes like soup or risotto! 🎃 🍷Pinot Nero is the Italian name for Pinot Noir. Fresh and easy-drinking, pair Pinot Nero from Friuli with pasta, roasted chicken, or strong cheeses. 🍷Tazzelenghe is a native varietal with zippy acidity. Pair it with braised meats like rabbit or stews with meat and root vegetables. 🍷Refosco makes dark, tannic red wines, so it will go great on your Thanksgiving table and with pork or pasta with rich sauces.

In Friuli we drink our apples as well as our grapes 😉 If you’re looking for something a bit lighter than wine, look no further than Ocyder. Here’s why we love this refreshing, extra dry hard cider: 🍎 Ocyder is made from organic Fuji apples grown right here in Friuli. 🍎 The Unterholzner family has dedicated 50 years to cultivating apples. They know what they are doing! 🍎 Ocyder is perfectly balanced: extra dry with a beautiful sweet note and gentle fruity character. 🔥 Ocyder pairs great with spicy foods. A difficult flavor to pair! Have you tried hard apple cider from Friuli yet? Be sure to add a bottle or two of Ocyder to your next case! #hardcider #organiccider #friuliveneziagiulia #drinkitalian

Chardonnay is fine, but have you tried Ribolla Gialla? 🥂 This white grape comes from Friuli and is made in a variety of styles from orange wine to sparkling. 🍾 When made as a white wine, it’s crisp and complex, with notes of citrus, flowers, mineral, and herbs. 🪴 Expand your palate with @friulitalianwines 🇮🇹🍷 #italianwine #friuli #friuliveneziagiulia #friuliwine #winerecommendation #italianwinelover #chardonnaylover

When it comes to bubbles, we don’t discriminate! 🍾 🥂The Charmat or ‘Tank’ method is a great option to produce a sparkling wine a bit faster. This method can also help maintain the inherent freshness of the varietal. 🥂The Champagne method or ‘metodo classico’ in Italian takes a much longer, and typically carries more toasty, nutty, and yeasty notes.
