It comprises two geographical areas: Friuli, which makes up most of the region, and Venezia Giulia, a small sliver of land along the Adriatic coast between Friuli and the city of Trieste. Because Friuli is far larger than Venezia Giulia, the entire region is frequently called simply Friuli. Both areas are named after Julius Caesar; Friuli is a contraction of Forum Iulii (Julius's Forum), and Giulia is another form of Julius (Venezia Giulia = Julian Venice). Because of the decades of destruction of vineyardsfrom phylloxera to mildew to the two world warsthe majority of FriuliVenezia Giulia's vines had to be replanted in the latter half of the 20th century. As a result, international varieties are more prominent here than in any other region. In particular, Pinot Grigio has been planted in a big way as that variety continues to be globally popular. The most-planted indigenous variety is none other than the region's namesake Friulano (formerly Tocai Friulano). Other well-represented native grapes include Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, Glera, Verduzzo, and Ribolla Gialla..

  • The North-South Divide in Italy: Reality Or Perception?
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk EUROPEAN SPATIAL RESEARCH AND POLICY Volume 25 2018 Number 1 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1231-1952.25.1.03 Dario MUSOLINO∗ THE NORTH-SOUTH DIVIDE IN ITALY: REALITY OR PERCEPTION? Abstract. Although the literature about the objective socio-economic characteristics of the Italian North- South divide is wide and exhaustive, the question of how it is perceived is much less investigated and studied. Moreover, the consistency between the reality and the perception of the North-South divide is completely unexplored. The paper presents and discusses some relevant analyses on this issue, using the findings of a research study on the stated locational preferences of entrepreneurs in Italy. Its ultimate aim, therefore, is to suggest a new approach to the analysis of the macro-regional development gaps. What emerges from these analyses is that the perception of the North-South divide is not consistent with its objective economic characteristics. One of these inconsistencies concerns the width of the ‘per- ception gap’, which is bigger than the ‘reality gap’. Another inconsistency concerns how entrepreneurs perceive in their mental maps regions and provinces in Northern and Southern Italy. The impression is that Italian entrepreneurs have a stereotyped, much too negative, image of Southern Italy, almost a ‘wall in the head’, as also can be observed in the German case (with respect to the East-West divide). Keywords: North-South divide, stated locational preferences, perception, image. 1. INTRODUCTION The North-South divide1 is probably the most known and most persistent charac- teristic of the Italian economic geography.

  • Friuli Venezia Giulia: a Region for Everyone
    EN FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA: A REGION FOR EVERYONE ACCESSIBLE TOURISM AN ACCESSIBLE REGION In 2012 PromoTurismoFVG started to look into the tourist potential of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region to become “a region for everyone”. Hence the natural collaboration with the Regional Committee for Disabled People and their Families of Friuli Venezia Giulia, an organization recognized by Regional law as representing the interests of people with disabilities on the territory, the technical service of the Council CRIBA FVG (Regional Information Centre on Architectural Barriers) and the Tetra- Paraplegic Association of FVG, in order to offer experiences truly accessible to everyone as they have been checked out and experienced by people with different disabilities. The main goal of the project is to identify and overcome not only architectural or sensory barriers but also informative and cultural ones from the sea to the mountains, from the cities to the splendid natural areas, from culture to food and wine, with the aim of making the guests true guests, whatever their needs. In this brochure, there are some suggestions for tourist experiences and accessible NATURE, ART, SEA, receptive structures in FVG.

  • 2019 Napa Valley Ribolla Gialla, Matthiasson Vineyard
    2019 Napa Valley Ribolla Gialla, Matthiasson Vineyard Ribolla Gialla originates in the Friuli region of Italy and across the border in Slovenia. An ancient grape variety, its earliest known mention was by the Pope in 1296. Ribolla Gialla makes an unparalleled food wine, filling the gap in food pairing between white wines and red wines—it can be amazing with pork and stewed pome fruit, fatty raw seafood, cured meats, and intense cheeses. We have been making “orange wine” from this fruit since 2008, fermenting the wine whole cluster, with the skins and stems, until dryness. The wine is 100 percent Ribolla gialla from our home vineyard. The wine was fermented whole cluster with native yeast in an open-top tank using punchdowns. After two weeks the must was pressed, and the wine was aged for 18 months in neutral barrels. The wine aged sur lees and it was never racked. No SO2 was used until a tiny amount at bottling. The alcohol is 13.0%, the pH is 3.9 and the TA is 5.35. 253 cases produced. The Ribolla gialla tastes like hazelnuts, baking spices, meyer lemon curd, Bartlett pear, but most of all it has a stony minerality that is incredibly distinctive. There is supple tannic structure and fresh balanced acidity, with great weight and length given the moderate alcohol. The Vineyard The Ribolla gialla represents seven rows in our home (“Matthiasson”) vineyard in the Western Oak Knoll area of Napa Valley. It was grafted onto 15 year old Merlot vines. George Vare was given a few sticks of the budwood from Josko Gravner in 2001 and grafted it into his own vineyard, which Steve was managing.

  • Guerra Albano | Ribolla Gialla Friuli Colli Orientali
    Ribolla Gialla Friuli Colli Orientali DOC Records of Ribolla Gialla go all the way back to the 13th century in Colli Orientali (before that it came from the Greek island of Kefalonia, where it's still known as Robola) and today it is synonymous with Friuli's most prestigious DOCs. In order to Winemaker: Dario Guerra create a balanced wine from this tricky varietal, savvy producers know you always Generation: 3rd have to harvest by hand: clusters are irregular and unpredictable, and the size of grapes can vary widely, even on a single bunch. As with all of his whites, Dario's small batch Ribolla Gialla benefits not only from meticulous, season-long pruning, but also from rich calcareous soils and 40+ year-old vines. WINEMAKER BIOGRAPHY Dario Guerra is a 3rd generation producer (his father’s name was Albano) who farms 10 hilltop hectares in Friuli’s esteemed Colli Orientali DOC. While it’s normal for producers to have 2 or 3 green harvests, Dario – rather amazingly – treats every vine as an individual, constantly sculpting them all season long!
