In a bustling display of regional pride and viticultural prowess, Friuli Venezia Giulia made its mark at the 56th edition of Vinitaly, the premier international exhibition for wines and spirits.
The regional government’s commitment to fostering the presence of its wine industry on the global stage was palpable as the inaugural event unfolded. Speaking at the unveiling of Friuli Venezia Giulia’s institutional stand, the regional assessor for agri-food resources emphasized the pivotal role of Vinitaly in expanding the market reach of local wineries. This sentiment echoed throughout the event, with stakeholders underscoring the importance of collaboration and innovation in driving industry success.

From Friulano to Pinot grigio, each wine bore the hallmark of quality and authenticity synonymous with the region. Moreover, the focus on certified organic and sustainable productions underscored Friuli Venezia Giulia’s commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible viticulture.
As visitors navigated through the exhibition routes, representing the region’s diverse denominations zones, the allure of Friuli Venezia Giulia’s wine landscape was unmistakable.
