What three DOC/DOCG regions in Friuli-Venezia Giulia are shared with the Veneto? • Prosecco DOC • Lison-Pramaggiore DOC • Lison DOCG What type of wine is produced in the Ramandolo DOCG? • Sweet white wines made using 100% Verduzzo Friulano. According the Jancis Robinson, et al, the Verduzzo Friulano grape is native to this area, often called “Ramandolo” and grown– although not in large amounts–throughout northeastern Italy and Slovenia. Interestingly, the Pizzini winery in Victoria, Australia also grows some Verduzzo Friulano, for use in both dry and sweet white wines. What type of wine is produced in the Rosazzo DOCG? • Dry white wines made from a minimum of 50% Friulano (sometimes known in other areas as Tai), 20-30% Sauvignon Blanc, 20-30% Pinot Bianco and/or Chardonnay, a maximum (not required) of 10% Ribolla, and a maximum (not required) of 5% other white grapes of the area. What (currently) are the six DOCs of Friuli-Venezia Giulia that have the word “Friuli” in their name? • Friuli Annia DOC • Friuli Aquileia DOC • Friuli Colli Orientali DOC • Friuli Grave DOC • Friuli Isonzo DOC • Friuli Latisana DOC Two of the DOCGs of Friuli-Venezia Giulia overlap with similarly-named DOCs. What are they, and what type of wines do they produce? • The Lison DOCG overlaps with the Lison-Pramaggiore DOC. The Lison DOCG is approved for dry white wines produced from a minimum of 85% Friulano grapes. The Lison-Pramaggiore DOC is approved for a wide variety of wines including dry reds and whites (both blends and some varietal), sparkling wines produced from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and/or Pinot Blanc, as well as passito (sweet) white (minimum 85% Verduzzo grapes), and passito (sweet) red (minimum 85% Refosco). • Colli Orientali del Friuli Picolit DOCG overlaps with the Friuli Colli Orientali DOC. The Colli Orientali del Friuli Picolit DOCG produces sweet white wines from the Picolit grape variety (which may be late-harvest or air-dried after harvest to a specified potential alcohol [varies by subregion]. The Friuli Colli Orientali DOC produces a wide range of wines, including dry red and white wines from a long list of allowed grapes, as well as sweet white wines (also from a long list of approved varieties). .

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.

March 2021 Half Case Write Ups.Pages
HIGHLAND FINE WINE MARCH 2021 HALF CASE- REDS ZINGARA MONTEPULCIANO 2017, ABRUZZO, ITALY $12.99 (MIXED) Abruzzo is known as the greenest region in Europe, with more than one-third of its nearly 4,200 square miles set aside for national parks and nature preserves. The remaining public lands have a reputation for diverse agricultural production – and notably cultivation of Montepulciano. The grape ranges widely throughout its native turf of Tuscany and, ironically, is not grown in the vineyards around the village of Montepulciano. Zingara is big – leading one to think it spent some time in oak. Not the case: this all stainless steel production shows off the power and character of Montepulciano with intense aromas of red fruits and spices. The palate is full, dry and harmonious with pleasant tannins. SANGUINHAL CEREJEIRAS TINTO 2018, LISBON, PORTUGAL $12.99 (MIXED) One of the oldest wineries in Lisbon, Portugal, Agricola Sanguinhal was founded In 1926, by Abel Pereira da Fonseca. He was an innovator, with a passion for his family, grape-growing, and winemaking. He planted Sanguinhal’s first vines on virgin land, which has been farmed without the use of any harsh chemicals ever since. Blend of Castelão, Aragonez (local name for Tempranillo) and Touriga Nacional. Rustic and approachable, this dark gem is full of crisp and floral plum, blueberry and herbal notes. VICUS AGLIANICO 2015, IRIPINA, ITALY $17.99 (MIXED) Italian wines are recognized around the world, but it is the specific personality of each region and commune that makes them all exciting to explore. It is here, in the Irpinia region, where the ancient Greeks began cultivating grape varieties suited to the volcanic soils before the Roman Empire had even begun.

Picolit D.O.C
PICOLIT D.O.C. COLLI ORIENTALI DEL FRIULI − Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin Sweet white wine prized of a straw yellow, delicate scent reminiscent of honey and wildflowers, taste warm, harmonious, sweet with a pleasantly bitter aftertaste. GRAPES: 100% Picolit VINE: Indigenous variety from Friuli, undoubtedly ancient, already cultivated in the Roman imperial period, had the honor to delight the palates of popes and emperors. Among the admirers of Picolit, it also includes Carlo Gol doni, who defines this wine the brightest gem of Friuli wine. Vine arrived today thanks to the work of Count Fabio Asquini of Fagagna who in 1700 saved this precious vine f rom certain death. It was the same Asquini that made him known to the "foreigners" in high−prestige markets su ch as London, Paris, Genoa, Milan, Ancona. The Picolit was appreciated and consumed not only in Italy, but he found among his great admirers even the Court of France, the Papal Court and even the King of Sardinia, the E mperor of Austria and the Czar of Russia. The Picolit is characterized by very limited production due to a peculiarity in the development of the grapes that undergo a partial floral abortion, leaving the loose bunch with smaller and sweeter grapes. Today it is cultivated in the hills of Friuli Venezia Giulia, in the provinces of Udine and Gorizia. The 2006 vintage is the first as Denomi nation of controlled and guaranteed origin and thanks to his particular value, Picolit is the second denomination of controlled and guaranteed origin of the whole Friuli Venezia Giulia.
