This is where wine is so interesting. When you find regions of the world where wine is life and the passion of the people who make these wines transcends the business of wine, things start to get interesting.
Up in the north east of Italy as it borders Slovenia is the region of Friuli. The stories the emanate from this obscure part of the wine world are fascinating. The stories of the Prussians during WWI, or the proximity to the Dolomites, or the crazy rocky soil, all contribute to the wine in the bottle. We had a good time with the conversation.
