Friuli reds and Pignolo from northeastern Italy's mineral heartland.

Walter Filiputti works in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the northeastern Italian region known for precise, mineral-driven whites and structured reds. The winery's portfolio centers on indigenous and classic varieties. Pignolo, a rare Friuli red with dark fruit and tannin structure, stands as the flagship; Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate have rated it at 92.5. Ronco dei Benedettini Merlot, rated 87.0, and Ronco dei Domenicani Cabernet Sauvignon, at 85.3, round out the core range. These wines reflect the region's continental climate and limestone-rich soils, which impart freshness and definition to both red and white expressions. The winery's focus on varietal authenticity and site-specific character aligns with Friuli's reputation for transparency and balance.
