Wines of the Collio DOC
We offer a rich catalogue of Collio Doc wines that originate from the processing of vineyards located in the fertile hills located in the province of Gorizia, in Friuli Venezia Giulia. This ancient growing area borders Slovenia to the north and is bounded to the east by the Soča River and to the west by the Judrio: in this landscape context the Julian Pre-Alps offer a shelter from the cold northern winds, while the proximity to the Adriatic coast mitigates temperature variations and creates an ideal microclimate for DOC productions on offer in our store. The recognition of Denomination of Controlled Origin of the area dates back to 1968, when the specification was drawn up to establish the guidelines to be followed for obtaining certification. Today the name includes nineteen types of white and red Collio Doc, such as those that are on sale at unmissable prices in the catalog of friulani wines of our store, characterized by typical scents that arise in the pedoclimatic context and mature with the innovative techniques used in the production cellars. What unites these wines is not only the territory, but also the exclusive choice of a standard narrow neck bottle that makes immediately recognizable most of the wines of Collio Doc.
