Friuli is one of the world's great homes for Sauvignon Blanc, and Via Alpina is the affordable way in. It's a side project from Giampaolo Venica, of the celebrated Venica & Venica estate, who sources fruit from cool, high-altitude sites in the Colli Orientali hills. Those marl-and-sandstone "ponca" soils and the alpine breezes that sweep down toward the Adriatic give a Sauvignon that's ripe and aromatic but never blowsy, with real freshness and moderate alcohol. Organically farmed fruit, honest price, seriously overdelivering wine.

More about Via Alpina

Via Alpina is everyday Friulian white made by a serious hand: an affordable project from Giampaolo Venica, of the celebrated Venica family, built to capture the freshest corners of Friuli's Colli Orientali without the price tag of a cru bottling.

The name means "Alpine Way," a nod to the road north from the Friulian hills toward the mountains, and the region's cool night air keeps the grapes fresh and aromatic. The vineyards sit on ponca, the layered marl and sandstone that underpins the best whites of the Colli Orientali and Collio, and the fruit comes from organic growers who work to Venica's standards.

Winemaking is clean and simple: whole-cluster pressing, then about eight months in stainless steel on the lees, with no oak. The lineup is Friuli's calling cards: Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc and, since 2024, Ribolla Gialla. These are bright, stony, unfussy whites with a little more texture and sense of place than you'd expect at the price.

Goat cheese, asparagus, ceviche, herbed roast chicken, or a plate of fried zucchini blossoms.

White. Bright and aromatic, with grapefruit, gooseberry, white peach, and a green, grassy edge. Zesty acidity, clean and dry.
