Looking for a buttery California Chardonnay? This is not it. Friuli’s chardonnays have an entirely different palate than a California Chard, mainly due to the fact that Friuli’s Chardonnays are entirely unoaked, bringing to bear a completely different taste, like nothing you have ever experienced. The 2015 vintage received the prestigious "Tre Bicchieri" award in the 2017 competition.

This wine from di Lenardo, a family that has been making wine since 1878, is the only one in Friuli to use only vines of the “Musque” clone, meaning that this wine is highly aromatic and unique in its composition. Di Lenardo is acknowledged as one of the best quality brands in the Friuli Grave area and the most technologically-advanced. Since 2009, the winery has used only to use solar energy to run its cellar. Environmentally conscious, equally advanced in winemaking, try this little wine for a great surprise that will change your tastes in Chardonnay!

The Malvasia by Il Carpino is a well-structured and full-bodied orange wine, vinified like red wine: with long maceration, and aged in oak. It has rich and intense scents of dried fruit, honey, and yellow fruit in syrup. The taste is warm and full-bodied, smooth, and complex.

This vibrant orange wine is a brilliant amber-rose color with coppery tones due to 20 days of skin contact. The Pinot Grigio Ramato Vis Uvae by Il Carpino is a unique interpretation of this varietal that astounds with its complexity and aromatic finesse.

Franconia is a single-varietal dry red wine made with the Friuli traditional grape of the same name. It is a fairly young red wine, not undergoing any aging in wood, nor lengthy aging in stainless steel. 

Franconia by Bortolusso is a medium-bodied red, with a deep ruby color. It is moderately tannic with a note of acidity. The younger it is opened it gives off herbaceous notes with a really juicy feel of cherry and raspberry notes, as it ages more aromas of undergrowth come out.

Father's Eyes is a 100% Chardonnay from Di Lenardo. A smoky Chardonnay that connects Friuli with the US, being the only white wine from Di Lenardo that is aged in American Oak barriques.

You'll notice notes of hazelnut and vanilla with backgrounds notes of creamy apple pastry, as well as a lemon meringue. A richer style but that does meet some refreshing acidity with the citrus notes.

Friuli in a bottle - A wine that comes from the blend of the three great indigenous white grapes of Friuli (Friulano, Malvasia, Ribolla Gialla), to perfectly represent the great quality potential of this area!

This wine is sure to be a conversation-starter, you won’t believe you are looking at a Pinot Grigio. The unique light pink color with coppery highlights is the result of prolonged contact with the skins of the grapes during cellar fermentation. Refreshing fruit and flowery undertones complement this gorgeous wine that is sure to impress, you can’t find anything else like it!

Marco Cecchini's focus is to spotlight the terroir of the small Faedis region while embracing the philosophies of biodynamic and organic farming. Cultivating a number of Friuli indigenous varietals, Cecchini's forward thinking has also led him to plant international varietals like Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, and this exquisite Riesling.



Cecchini Riesling is a "Cru," coming from a single organic vineyard. It is rich, creamy, and aromatic with the minerality of the Friuli soil coming through for a fresh taste. "A walk in a wood, under the shadow of the trees in an autumn day."

Let's just say #roséallday! Cherubi Rosé by Cabert is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. A perfect start for lunch or happy hour, or to have a fantastic time at the pool, this elegant and bright wine pairs perfectly with great food and experiences alike.

This sparkling wine is made using the Classic Method, with secondary fermentation in the bottle. Bread crust and exotic fruits characterize this bubbly that's perfect for the holiday season...or any season!

You've never had a Chardonnay quite like this! The Il Carpino winery near the Slovenian border makes lovely minimal intervention wines. This reserve Chardonnay is made with 7 days of skin contact and aged in large Slavonian oak for a year followed by aging in stainless steel, then held in bottle for several years before release. It's a unique expression of a classic varietal definitely worth a try.

Located by the Slovenian border lies the vineyards of Il Carpino, where they make stunning minimal intervention wines. This golden yellow, almost amber, Ribolla Gialla is an impressive expression of the native varietal. Dry, elegant, and fresh, the nose reminds of dried fruit and spices while the palate is intense and enveloping.
