Friuli Colli Orientali DOC
Home to the Friulano grape, Friuli Colli Orientali produces a number of complex white wines. It also specialises in white grapes such as Ribolla Gialla, Verduzzo and Picolit.
Friuli Colli Orientali is the result of some recent changes to the DOCs of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. It was established as the Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC in 1970 but in 2006, Colli Orientali del Friuli Picolit became a separate DOCG in 2006 with the former subzones Ramandolo and Rosazzo (for a Friulano-based Bianco only) becoming separate DOCGs in 2011.
