Bagnoli di Sopra (Bagnoli) DOC

Come si dice? Tap the speaker next to a name to hear it in Italian. AI voice.

IL PROGETTODOCBAGNOLI DI SOPRA (BAGNOLI)AAIT18839757Denominazione di Origine Controllata

No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.

The broad DOC that surrounds the Bagnoli Friularo DOCG, covering the same flat farmland but allowing the full range of colors and international grapes. The reds are Merlot and Cabernet blends with a share of Friularo for acidity, medium bodied and herbal; the whites are neutral blends of Chardonnay and Tai; the rosato and spumante from Raboso are the local curiosities, tart and cranberry-like. Il Dominio di Bagnoli makes nearly all of it and sells most from the estate. A one-producer appellation in practice.

Still hunting

I'm still looking for a bottle of this.

If you make Bagnoli di Sopra (Bagnoli), import it, or know who does, the form takes two minutes and I reply to every one.

Can you help me get one?
