In the past decade Friuli has become a star region in the Italian wine world. Its fame rests largely on its white wines, ranging from crisp, mineral and dry to sweet and sumptuous. While the indigenous Friulano, aka Tocai, is the dominant local grape, the region excels in its Sauvignon Blancs and Rieslings. Among the reds, Refosco is the top local variety, but Merlot and the Cabernets are more often found. Though often termed "international" varieties, these and white grapes like Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc have been acclimated here for two centuries.
