Marl, sandstone and the Slovenian border
Collio’s hillside vineyards follow the northern edge of Gorizia province.
Collio is a wine landscape of linked hills, with marl and sandstone among its defining rock formations. The denomination includes both white and red wines, as blends or with named grape varieties. A bottle labeled Friulano, Ribolla Gialla or Merlot takes you down a particular branch of this shared geography. The longer name, Collio Goriziano, refers to the same denomination.
