Vigna del Lauro
Vigna del Lauro operates in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the northeastern Italian region celebrated for its crisp white wines and mineral-driven expressions. The winery's portfolio centers on three flagship varieties: Refosco, a dark-skinned grape native to the region known for its structured tannins and earthy character; Friulano, the aromatic white that defines much of Friuli's identity; and Pinot Grigio, the region's most internationally recognized export. Wine Enthusiast and Falstaff have rated the winery's Refosco at 91 points, its Collio Friulano at 90, and its Pinot Grigio at 89—a range reflecting the winery's technical consistency across both red and white production. The Collio subregion, where the Friulano is produced, sits on the border with Slovenia and benefits from cool Alpine influences that preserve acidity and mineral precision. Vigna del Lauro's approach emphasizes the terroir signatures of northeastern Italy: lean, food-friendly whites and age-worthy reds rooted in local tradition.
