Regional umbrella DOC covering all four provinces of Friuli-Venezia Giulia — Udine, Pordenone, Gorizia, and Trieste — across approximately 20,000 hectares. Established by Italian ministerial decree in 2016 and registered as an EU PDO in 2020, the Friuli DOC sits alongside — not above — the historic sub-zone DOCs including Collio, Friuli Colli Orientali, Friuli Grave, Isonzo, and Carso. The signature style is crisp, aromatic varietal whites led by Pinot Grigio, alongside Friulano, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Ribolla Gialla. Structured reds — principally Merlot, Refosco, and Cabernet — are also permitted across the regional designation.
