The DOC wines of the Colli Orientali del Friuli at Villa Nachini Cabassi
Every year, in June, Corno di Rosazzo becomes the capital of wine for the Colli Orientali del Friuli. The Wine Fair, hosted in the 18th-century Villa Nachini Cabassi, brings together wineries from the region for a grand tasting showcasing over 80 DOC labels: from Friulano to Ribolla Gialla, from Refosco to the rare and precious Picolit.
The event is a widespread celebration that intertwines wine, sport, and landscape. The Wine March accompanies participants through the vineyards with food and wine stops, while the wine-tourism bike ride on e-bikes leads to the discovery of the hills. The heart of the fair is the Cornium d'Oro Award, the competition that each year crowns the best Friulano and the best Picolit of the region.
The Colli Orientali del Friuli are among the most renowned wine-growing areas in Italy, famous for their structured white wines and dessert wines. The Fair is the ideal opportunity to meet producers, from Butussi to Specogna to Terre Petrussa, and to understand the deep connection between these wines and the hills that produce them.
Promoted with the support of the Municipality of Corno di Rosazzo, the Wine Fair is an unmissable event for wine tourism enthusiasts who want to experience eastern Friuli with a glass in hand, amidst historic villas and vineyards.
The 2026 edition of the Corno di Rosazzo Wine Fair is scheduled from June 19 to 23 in the setting of Villa Nachini Cabassi. Five days dedicated to the DOC wines of the Colli Orientali del Friuli, with over 80 labels to taste from regional wineries such as Butussi, Specogna, and Terre Petrussa.
The events that animate the fair return: the Wine March through the vineyards, the e-bike wine-tourism ride, and the Cornium d'Oro Award for the best Friulano and Picolit.
The detailed schedule with times and dates for individual events is published on the official website fieradeivinicorno.it.
