How It's made
Friuli Grave is a renowned wine appellation in northeastern Italy, often referred to as “White Wine Heaven” and known for its white varietals, primarily Pinot Grigio. The region takes its name from the gravelly, alluvial soils that characterize the area. The stony, limestone-rich soil originated in the mountains and has been deposited across the plains over the years. Friuli Grave’s unique terroir and temperature climate creates wines that are light and zesty, with floral and citrus-like aromas.
