Wow! Vitovska, Schioppettino & Ribolla Gialla! Andrew, now you are talking. I never thought anyone in the UK would have ever mentioned these wonderful grapes. Andrew Barrow wrote a nice review - here - for three of probably the most representative grapes from this corner of North East Italy: Friuli Venezia Giulia, FVG.

I my humble opinion, though I’m a bit biased, there are many more superlative producers that I would like to mention:

Vitovska - Zidarich, Skerk, Vodopivec

Ribolla Gialla - Gravner, Radikon, Paraschos

Schioppettino - Giovanni Venica, Petrussa

Give me a buzz whenever you would like to visit this side of the World and sample these extremely nice wines.

Another fabulous review by Andrew Barrow @ spittoon
This one though, Bastianich Friulano, is very special to me because Andrew reviewed one of the many excellent winemakers from the corner of the World I was born and move back to two years ago: FVG, Friuli Venezia Giulia, North East Italy. 

This is probably Andrew’s first “Vino from Friuli” review!

I would have loved meeting you again, Andrew if it wasn’t you could not easily decide when/where to go.
I feel reassured though you may come back now that you sampled some of the greatest wines produced in Friuli Venezia Giulia. Don’t forget to give me a buzz and especially take good friend Douglas with you too.

Thanks for your words.
