La Viarte

Friuli whites and indigenous reds from Italy's mineral northeast.

La Viarte sits in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the northeastern corner of Italy where Alpine influence meets Mediterranean warmth. The region's mineral-rich soils and cool nights shape wines of precision and aromatic clarity. The winery's portfolio centers on indigenous varieties and classic whites. Schioppettino di Prepotto, made from the local Schioppettino grape, anchors the red offering—a wine of structure and regional character. Ribolla Gialla, Friuli's signature white, expresses the territory's limestone and slate through bright acidity and stone fruit. Chardonnay Liende rounds the core range, demonstrating how the region's terroir inflects even international varieties. These wines have drawn attention from Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Wine Advocate. La Viarte's approach reflects Friuli's reputation for clean winemaking and varietal authenticity, where the focus remains on what the vineyard and vintage express rather than extraction or oak.
