Thanks for your comment. I will write about the beautiful dessert wines of this area, Ramondolo and Picolit, in a future post.

Tom,

I think that there are several other producers that are worth mentioning. They receive less international recognition, but I feel are quite phenomenal.

I am a fan of the G. Dorigo oaked whites and his Montsclapade.

And the sauvignon from Rosa Bosco is my favorite.

Rodero (across the street from Tunella) makes some decent wines.

And the NE corner of the Colli Orientali zone, where some interesting sweet white’s, called Romandolo is made from the verduzzo friulano. Maybe nothing spectacular, but a tiny zone worth a visit and taste.

I do like several of Jermann’s wines very much, but many of his vineyards are in the Isonzo area with only some in Collio, so that’s why he’s not listed in this post. I’ll comment on some of his wines in the future.

I noticed you don’t cite the wines of Silvio Jermann…are you not a fan?
