Once in a while in this crazy business, you stumble across passion that has no bounds. Certainly, even to engage in the wine trade it takes passion, but there is typically an end to it. I am not sure it is fair to say the passion has an end, but there are many who might give up in an idea before its time

Not Max Mussio. He is so committed that it took exactly 2 days for him to indoctrinate his then-new wife into the trade. Max and his wife represent an area of Italian wine that is growing in popularity and fascinating to discover: Friuli.

That arching piece of land that connects Italy with Slovenia and sits at the base of the Dolomites, produces an amazing array of wines without deference to their original origin.

You can taste light-hearted Pinot Grigio with character or a robust Cabernet Franc in the same sitting.

Have a listen to Max, hear his passion and join him on a trip through Friuli.
