Overseas wine bloggers discover one of Friuli gems
I am very happy to post here a review by Do Bianchi about one of the greatest grapes we harvest in this corner of the World: Friuli Venezia Giulia, North East Italy.
Do Bianchi has been recently here with a few other UK and US wine bloggers during the 2nd edition of COF week.

Vitovska!!!
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.
