|
Banear is a relatively young winery that was founded in 1978
and located in Treppo Grande, Friuli, in northeastern Italy. The winery
represents three of the best geographic zones for viticulture in the
Friuli region: the Collio, Colli Orientali del Friuli and the Friuli
Grave. From these DOC regions come the incredibly refreshing Tocai
Friulano, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Bianco. Known for the most impressive
roster of white grapes to be found in any Italian wine region, most
are somewhat surprised to learn that more than 40% of Friuli’s
wine production is red. Merlot is dominant, but excellent Cabernet
Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Refosco also make their mark. Banear
also makes wonderful Proseccos from vineyards in the Veneto.
