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.

Friuli wines 🤝 East coast (and Midwest)

Last week the Tre Bicchieri world tour continued with NYC and Chicago. We had a great time with Tiare Vini and Canus. A visit to The Italian Homemade Company in Chicago was the cherry on top!

Where should we go next in the USA?

Increased demand for orange wines, organic wines, low intervention wines, and budget-friendly wines that don't sacrifice quality...we can think of an Italian region that delivers on all of these! 🇮🇹🥂

We really liked this hopeful article detailing the changes in how people are drinking wine.

The world of wine is changing. And we are here to meet it. Give us a follow and explore our Friuli Italian Wines universe. www.friulitalianwines.com

Organic and orange wines, non-alcoholic options and high-end fine wines are all seeing increased demand as consumer habits change.

A lot of change has happened in the last few months at Friuli Italian Wines.

We won’t bore you with the details, but as is normal during transition periods a lot of good things happened, but also some unforeseen things came up that had a negative impact.

A big issue happened when launching the new website. At first the automated shipping plug-in didn’t work at all, so customers couldn’t complete their order. Then when we got it working again, it was charging exorbitant shipping rates...like 10 times higher.

It then took several weeks to get a meeting with a new shipping partner, and then of course the time it takes to implement and test a new plug-in. Today, we are happy to announce that shipping rates are back to normal for our online customers!

We invite you to check out our (not so) new website and explore our world of Friuli Italian wines. www.friulitalianwines.com

Learn more about our region, our stories, our wines, and most importantly our hard-working winemakers.

Thank you for being a part of the Friuli family.

Sincerely,
Alex, Patrick, Max, Verity, and the Friuli Italian Wines Team

If this isn't heaven, we don't know what is 🥂

Alex is currently stateside, and these business visits always have us remembering the amazing personal visits we have with our Friuli producers, like this one last month with Edi Kante. The commitment to our mission, the memories we make, and the stories we get to share with you about the real people behind the wines.

LA continues to burn. Our hearts go out to our friends, colleagues, and all those impacted by the devastation. 💔

We have created a page with links and resources for fire relief. It's not much, but it's something: https://bit.ly/FIWLAFires

If you are in the LA area, please be safe and pay attention to evacuation orders. We must let first responders and firefighters do their jobs.

If you are able, consider donating to one of the organizations or funds we linked in the resources doc: https://bit.ly/FIWLAFires

We're not out of the woods yet, but there will be an end to this someday. We will rebuild. Stay safe out there.
