Friuli Annia

Styles

Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• Entirely flat morphology, facing the Laguna di Marano and oriented toward Palmanova and Cervignano del Friuli. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• Predominantly argille soils with a variable sandy component, formed from alluvial deposits rich in mineral detritus.
• Temperate climate with a mean annual temperature between 13 and 15 °C; mild winters with rare frosts thanks to the moderating influence of the sea.
• The bora wind (ENE) sweeps across the lower plain, reducing moisture stagnation; rainfall concentrated in spring and autumn.

• The DOC takes its name from the Via Annia, the Roman consular road of 131 BC, with a viticultural vocation attested by wine amphorae and a donation by Patriarch Popone in 1031. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• The vineyards are trained predominantly to guyot, with residual plantings trained to Sylvoz and cappuccina (double arched cane).

• The bora (ENE) disperses humid stagnation, limiting fungal pressure and promoting healthy grapes across the lagoon plain.
