Amber Wine Festival

Returning in late spring, Amber Wine Festival 2025. This food and wine event in Friuli Venezia Giulia has the characteristic of being dedicated exclusively to amber wines. Enthusiasts will already know them (and if you are, I recommend you also read this article on Georgian amber wines in amphorae). Those who want to look into this world now, will discover white wines produced with the traditional process of prolonged maceration during which the contact of the must with the skins gives the wine its amber color, a recognizable sign for these wines.
