Wine / Oenology / Viticulture | | Italian term or phrase: Faedis/Fredris Fiuis | This is a videotape transcription. The President of the Board of Tourism of Lignano Sabbiadoro in Firuli, is conferring the first membership card of the Club del Vino Nero (Black Wine Club) to Joan Hemingway.
The speaker speech is at times slurred and unclear due to foreground and background noise. He is referring to a particular type of vine of black grapes: Faedis/Fredris Fiuis??, which is supposed to be an ancient type grape variety : "the mother of all grapes" as he says, but for the life of me, I cannot understand what he says and I know nothing about this famous grape vine. Any help would be highly appreciated. |

2 hrs confidence:  | Faedis/Fredris Fiuis?? Faedis (village in Friuli Venezia Giulia Region)
Explanation:
Faedis is a village in Friuli Venezia Giulia region. It is famous for its wine production and its wines are DOC (it means that they have distinct characteristics linked with the region, and are produced according to specific rules designed to preserve the traditional wine-making practices of the area).
Refosco and Verduzzo wines are the most popular and they are great, believe me, I was born there :)
