From Friuli to the Alps - Crisp Whites & Refined Reds

A six-bottle mixed case of Italian wines, with 3 Friuli whites and 3 alpine reds

Northern Italy is home to some of the country’s most distinctive and characterful wines. From Friuli to the Alps is a six-bottle mixed wine case designed to explore that contrast through two very different but equally compelling expressions of place.

On one side, you have the bright, precise and quietly expressive white wines of Friuli: a region celebrated for purity, freshness and poise. On the other, a trio of reds inspired by the foothills and mountain influence of Trentino-Alto Adige, where cooler climates and dramatic landscapes help shape wines of freshness, elegance and character.

This is not a mixed case built around one single grape or style. Instead, it is a curated introduction to a part of Italy where regional identity still matters deeply, and where wines often feel defined not by weight or power, but by clarity, energy and a strong sense of origin.

It is a selection that works beautifully for drinkers who enjoy discovering different styles side by side. The sparkling Ribolla Gialla brings lift and freshness, the Friulano offers classic Collio character, and the Chardonnay adds texture and depth. Alongside them, the reds move from fragrant and approachable to darker, more structured and more alpine in feel, giving the case both variety and balance.

Whether you are already drawn to northern Italian wines or simply looking for a mixed case with a stronger sense of direction, From Friuli to the Alps offers a thoughtful way to explore six bottles with genuine regional personality.

Why we like it

This mixed case captures a side of Italy that often appeals to drinkers looking for finesse, freshness and food-friendly wines rather than sheer weight. It moves naturally from sparkling to still whites, and from lighter, more fragrant reds to more structured alpine expressions, making it a versatile case to enjoy over several occasions.

It also makes a particularly good choice for anyone wanting to explore northern Italian wine beyond the obvious names, with a selection that feels both accessible and distinctive.
