Friuli Aquileia
Wine · PDO · 15 municipalities
In the southern plains of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the Friuli Aquileia DOC is defined by strict varietal boundaries across 15 municipalities, including Bagnaria Arsa and Aquileia itself. What sets this denomination apart is the precise composition of its white blend: the Bianco must derive at least 50% of its volume from the Friulano grape, while explicitly banning both Traminer aromatico and Muller Thurgau from the remaining portion. Furthermore, 19 verified producers adhere to distinct production standards, such as capping the maximum grape yield at 13.0 t/ha for Friulano and aging red Riserva wines for at least 24 months starting from November 11th of the vintage year.
