A wine festival dedicated to amber ('orange') wines, made with extended skin contact — a style with deep roots in the Friuli-Carso region, built on native varieties like Malvasia, Vitovska, and Ribolla. Held inside the Castello di San Giusto, a fortress built in stages from 1468 to 1636 for the Austrian emperors, with producers from Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, and Austria.
