Friulano is a white grape varietal that originated in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy. It is known for its fresh, crisp, and aromatic wines, typically with flavors of green pear, almond, and floral notes. The wine typically has a medium body, medium to high acidity, and a slightly bitter finish reminiscent of almonds. Friulano wines are known for having a good structure, capacity for ageing, and ability to pair well with a variety of foods, especially the traditional cuisine of the Friuli region. Due to its popularity, the Friulano grape is also grown in other wine regions around the world.
