The “Grave” subzone, which is situated between the provinces of Udine and Pordenone, hosts the most famous clone “cradle” in the world. With indigenous grapes such as Friulano, Malvasia Istriana and Refosco, there are also international varieties which have happily acclimatized themselves here such as the elegant Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, and the aromatic Sauvignon.Friuli “Grave” – Just as the name says, Grave (gravelly stones) lays on the flatter soil south of Udine.
This soil is stones left by the Tagliamento river looking up at the Carnic Alps. The deep soil and well drained stones on the river plane let the rocks and stones to store heat during the day, and to release it during the night, so not to stress the vines.
