DOC CollioFriulano, Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia IstrianaEUR 22 to 28 retail
Edi Keber's Collio is the cellar's single blended white from the Zegla vineyards above Cormons, a Friulano-led blend with Ribolla Gialla and Malvasia Istriana that the family treats as the Collio's canonical territorial wine (one bottle per vintage, no varietal cuvees). Apple skin, white pepper, dried hay and a salty almond finish.
Tip: Edi Keber bottles only one wine per vintage; ask the cellar for a vertical of two or three back-vintages to read the territorial expression year to year.
DOC CollioTocai Friulano, Sauvignon, Pinot Bianco, RieslingEUR 24 to 30 retail
Studio di Bianco is the Friulano-led white blend from Nicola Manferrari at Borgo del Tiglio in Brazzano di Cormons. Tiny production from the cellar's hilltop ponca vineyards: a blend of Friulano, Sauvignon, Pinot Bianco and Riesling. Yellow apple, citrus peel, white flowers, mineral salt and an ageing capacity unusual at this price band.
Tip: Borgo del Tiglio bottles are allocated tight; book the cellar visit directly to taste current and library vintages of Studio di Bianco side-by-side.
DOC Friuli Colli OrientaliFriulanoEUR 22 to 28 retail
Zuc di Volpe is the single-vineyard Friulano from Volpe Pasini, the Pittaro family cellar at Togliano di Torreano in the Colli Orientali. The Zuc di Volpe hilltop vineyard sits at 220 metres on ponca marl.
Tip: Zuc di Volpe drinks well on release but lifts further at 4 to 6 years; lay down a bottle from each vintage if the cellar door has the library option.
DOC Friuli Colli OrientaliFriulanoEUR 18 to 24 retail
Specogna's standard Friulano from the Rocca Bernarda hill in Corno di Rosazzo, the Colli Orientali commune that hosts the cellar of the same name.
Tip: Combine the Friulano with the cellar's Picolit DOCG half-bottle for a Colli Orientali full picture; the two varieties share the same family of soils.
DOC Friuli IsonzoChardonnayEUR 22 to 28 retail
Ciampagnis Vieris is the Friuli Isonzo Chardonnay from Vie di Romans, the Gianfranco Gallo cellar on the Isonzo river gravel terraces at Mariano del Friuli. Partially fermented and aged in French oak.
Tip: Pair Ciampagnis Vieris with the cellar's Dis Cumieris Friulano in a single flight; the back-to-back read shows Vie di Romans' Isonzo gravel signature across two varieties.
DOC Friuli IsonzoSauvignonEUR 20 to 26 retail
Picol is the entry-tier Friuli Isonzo Sauvignon from Lis Neris, the Pecorari family cellar on the Isonzo gravel terraces at San Lorenzo Isontino. Stainless-vinified, partial lees contact.
Tip: Lis Neris is also a strong stop for the Gris Pinot Grigio in the same flight; the cellar door pours both side-by-side as the house contrast.
