Vitas

Friuli Aquileia whites and reds shaped by limestone terroir.

Vitas produces wines from Friuli Aquileia, a northeastern Italian region celebrated for its mineral-driven whites and structured reds. The winery's Ribolla Gialla captures the indigenous variety's characteristic brightness and acidity, a wine that has drawn attention from major critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Falstaff, and Decanter. Alongside this flagship white, Vitas crafts Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, the local red grape that thrives in Friuli's gravelly soils, and a Chardonnay that reflects the region's cool-climate influence. These three wines form the core of the portfolio, each shaped by Friuli Aquileia's distinctive terroir—where limestone and gravel substrates yield wines of precision and minerality. The region's continental climate and proximity to the Adriatic create conditions that favor crisp acidity and clean fruit expression, hallmarks evident across Vitas's range.
