What grows here
Mortegliano
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Under the shadow of Italy's tallest bell tower, which rises 113.20 meters above the Udine plains, Mortegliano nurtures a singular agricultural identity. Here, the stony, well-drained soils of the Friuli Grave DOC—a wine zone encompassing 93 municipalities—force vine roots deep to find nutrients, yielding whites of exceptional mineral clarity. This gravelly terroir hosts 15 protected denominations in total. Currently, 1 verified producer is based here, bottling this precise viticultural legacy, while the wider territory also yields local specialties like the traditional grape-must-fermented turnip, Brovada DOP.
