Physicochemical and Organoleptic properties

"Bagnoli Friularo" or "Friularo di Bagnoli" has a ruby red colour which, with ageing, turns to garnet; its aroma is vinous, intense and characteristic; its flavour is dry, full, velvety and tending towards acidulous; its minimum total alcholic strength by volume ranges from 11. 50% vol. of the basic version to 12. 50% vol. of the Riserva.

Grape production area

The production area is concentrated in a few municipalities, all located in the Province of Padova. This is an area characterized by a high geological complexity, given the large presence of soils originating from volcanic rocks. The climate is temperate and particularly windy.

Specificity and historical notes

The antiquity of the link between the wines and their territory of production is testified by a document dating back to 1000 A.D. This is the act of donation by the Marquis of the Dominio di Bagnoli, who expressly speaks of the wines of Bagnoli.
