Just recently, I returned home from a memorable four-day field research trip to Collio DOC, a stunning corner of the world that’s nestled in northeastern Italy. I’m thrilled to share my first article about the region, its wines and so much more at Winetraveler.com.
Collio: One of the Most Unique White Wine Regions of the World
Invited by Consorzio Collio and IEEM to experience the Italian region of Collio DOC, I was thrilled and curious about the prospect of discovering a region of which I was unfamiliar. Anticipating a variety of opportunities in the vineyards, with producers and in the cellars, our group of wine journalists, sommeliers, buyers and consultants arrived in Italy at the end of May to explore this hidden gem of a region. What I found were stunning wines and an equally fascinating culture.
Tucked into the far northeast corner of Italy, the region of Collio is a curve of bright and sunny hills, slopes and terraces amidst the province of Friuli Venezia Giulia on the border of Slovenia and between the Julian Alps and the Adriatic Sea. To the north is the town of Prepotto, to the west is Cormons and in the east is Gorizia.
