Friulano – Blazic – 2024

The Friulano of the Blazic winery

Here the marly and sandstone soil is commonly called ponca and characterizes the wines of the “Collio Friulano”. This Friulano which was called Tocai not long ago, is able to give very interesting results in the Collio area.

Tasting the wine of the winery
