Friuli Latisana
Wine · PDO · 11 municipalities
Established in 1996 across 11 Friuli-Venezia Giulia municipalities, including Castions di Strada, the Friuli Latisana denomination is defined by highly specific production limits that distinguish it from neighbouring areas. While standard wines allow a 70% must-to-wine yield, its sweet Passito is legally capped at a concentrated 45% yield, reaching a minimum 14% total alcohol. Its sparkling Frizzante styles are uniquely segregated by residual sugar: Verduzzo Friulano must contain between 10 and 40 grams per liter, whereas all other frizzante variations are restricted to 10 grams or less. Currently, the registry lists zero verified producers.
