What grows here
Zuglio
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Zuglio, once the ancient Roman city Iulium Carnicum and a bishopric in the 4th and 5th centuries, holds a profound historical grounding in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. This enduring heritage has cultivated a distinctive local character, nurturing no fewer than 13 protected food and wine origins within its bounds. Foremost among these is Brovada DOP, a unique fermented turnip preparation deeply rooted in the agricultural practices of 209 municipalities across the region. Additionally, Zuglio contributes to the creation of regional spirits like Grappa friulana IG and Williams friulano IG, alongside the broader Venezia Giulia IGT wines, reflecting centuries of specialized production.
