Via Italia! Friuli-Venezia Giulia

This area to the northeast of Venice is our sleeper pick for some of the most underrated wines anywhere on the planet, let alone within Italy. Many experts consider this, along with the Alto Adige, to be Italy’s premier destination for show-stopping whites, but don’t let that fool you – the reds here, often created from rare and indigenous grapes, pack a punch, too. Even more, they’re perfect wines as we transition to fall!
