Collio

Cool maritime to continental

Hillside vineyards on the Slovenian border making some of Italy's most precise whites, and the cradle of the modern skin-contact 'orange wine' revival.

Collio hakkında

Collio's hills straddle the border with Slovenia (where the same vineyards continue as the Goriška Brda wine district), on a soil the locals call ponca — a crumbly marl and sandstone that growers credit for the wines' mineral drive. Friulano is the signature white, alongside Ribolla Gialla, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio.

Around the hamlet of Oslavia, growers including Josko Gravner and Stanko Radikon revived extended for white wine from the 1990s on — ageing juice on its skins for weeks or months, often in amphorae — helping launch what's now called the 'orange wine' movement well beyond Friuli.

Cooled by the nearby Alps and moderated by the Adriatic, with large day-night swings that help preserve aromatic freshness in the whites.
