La Magnolia: the family wine bar that tells the heart of Friuli

Among the gentle hills and vineyards surrounding Cividale del Friuli, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and ancient Lombard capital, lies an address that smells of home and good wine. La Magnolia wine bar, passionately run by Samantha and Lorena, is much more than a tasting spot: it is a family embrace that welcomes visitors and accompanies them on a journey through authentic flavors and Friulian traditions.

As soon as you step inside, you can feel the care with which every detail has been designed. Warm furnishings, rustic wood, and soft lighting create an atmosphere that invites you to slow down, leave the frenzy outside, and enjoy your time. La Magnolia is not just a wine bar: it is also a winery that produces its own wines, the fruit of the land and of experience handed down from generation to generation. Each bottle tells the story of vineyard work, the passing seasons, and love for the territory.

The tasting experience is an invitation to discover the soul of Friuli through the glass. Depending on the wine chosen, Samantha and Lorena propose different appetizers, prepared with local ingredients and pairings designed to enhance every sip. You might start with a fresh, fragrant white—perhaps a Friulano with an elegant bouquet—served with crostini and zero-kilometer cheeses, or opt for a full-bodied red, paired with artisanal cured meats and rustic bread.

Among the must-try labels stands out the Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, a symbolic wine of the region: robust, with notes of wild berries and a spicy touch that captivates from the very first taste. Perfect for those who love reds with character, it pairs beautifully with a board of local cured meats or aged cheese, creating a harmony of flavors that speaks of Friuli in every detail.

Visiting La Magnolia means coming into contact with a world made of passion, hospitality, and quality. Whether you are a wine connoisseur or simply curious, here you will find the perfect opportunity to discover the region’s rich winemaking heritage and, above all, the authenticity of a family that opens the doors of its cellar with a smile.

At La Magnolia, every glass is a story of land and heart, to be savored sip after sip.
