Foffani winery - best wineries in the Friuli Venezia Giulia - Farm Holidays in Friuli - Friuli Aquileia DOC wines

The winery Foffani is located Trevigiano Udinese, near Clauiano, not far from Udine.

The vineyards are located north of the eastern plains of Friuli, just below the mountains. The grapes, grown in Guyot, with high planting density, to get low yields per hectare, are harvested by hand and immediately sent in the cellar for processing: for white wine grapes, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Friulano, are cold processed and subjected to long fermentation at controlled temperature; for red wines, however, grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc, Refosco and Merlot, are subject to fermentation in stainless steel tanks and to malolactic fermentation; the wine obtained is then left to age 1 or 2 years in Allier oak barrels and then matured in steel. The resulting wines represent the best of the area and can be considered among the best wines of Friuli Venezia Giulia.

In addition to wine production, the winery offers a comprehensive reception service: a large area dedicated to wine tastings, a tavern for lunch and snacks, a permanent exhibition of art works dedicated to wine and a cottage with two double bedrooms of great style and elegance.
