What grows here
Castelnovo del Friuli
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the scattered municipality of Castelnovo del Friuli, where community life is centered in the valley hamlet of Paludea rather than a single urban core, diverse elevations shape a specialized agricultural landscape. Here, 15 protected denominations overlap, led by the stony terroirs that produce Friuli Grave DOC, a wine designation spanning a zone of 93 municipalities. The alpine-influenced hillsides also foster the precise microclimate required for Brovada DOP, the regional fermented turnip. This fragmented territory utilizes its gravelly soils and mountain breezes to yield highly localized wines and spirits.
