Giovanni Dri
Giovanni Dri works in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the northeastern Italian region where Alpine influence and Adriatic proximity shape distinctive white wines. The winery focuses on indigenous varieties—Verduzzo Friulano and Picolit—grapes that thrive in the region's mineral soils and cool climate. Ramandolo, a Verduzzo Friulano, stands as the flagship expression, joined by Il Roncat Uve Decembrine, also Verduzzo, and Colli Orientali del Friuli Picolit. These wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast. Verduzzo Friulano brings aromatic complexity and textural depth to the portfolio, while Picolit—rare and historically prized—offers the region's signature intensity. The winery's work centers on these native varieties, allowing the terroir and vintage character to emerge.
