Gastronomic combinations: Aperitifs wine, excellent withdelicate appetizers, pasta and soups. Ideal pairing with ham prosciutto di San Daniele. The soft trickle of food fattiness is readily opposed by the minerality of this wine.

The Friulano goes very well with shellfish: cicadas, shrimp, prawns and lobsters.
