NOTORIOUS FVG:
A Wine Dinner Featuring the Food and Wine of Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Friuli Venezia Giulia holds a special place in the heart of Babbo. FVG is the home of Bastianich Wines (which we like to call our “ family wines”) whose mission is to continue the region’s reputation for producing the best white wines of Italy and to showcase what reds can do in the north. We also like the region because FVG, like Babbo, is notorious for bucking norms: so-called international varieties like chardonnay are locally-known as indigenous varietals and Italian food is also Austrian food and Slavic food and Hungarian food. In this Italian melting-pot, potatoes and polenta rule, the creamy unpasteurized Montasio cheese is prized and San Daniele Prosciutto is a protected class. With so much diversity of influences and ideas, Friuli conjures the question, “What makes Italian food and wine, Italian food and wine?” And the answer is…
