Originally from Friuli Venezia Giulia, the native grape variety has risked extinction, but still today it is cultivated mainly in the municipalities of Rosazzo, Buttrio and Premariacco. Used exclusively for wine making, both in purity and mixed with other local grapes. It is a deserving wine with a very delicate, savory, soft and elegant taste.
