π Verduzzo Friulano
A white grape from Friuli, Italy, known for the sweet wine Ramandolo.
Verduzzo Friulano is a white grape from Friuli in north-east Italy. It has long grown in this area, in the hills of Colli Orientali del Friuli. Its berries are golden with thick skins and high acidity, which helps keep the wine fresh.
The grape's main fame comes from the sweet wine Ramandolo, made from semi-dried berries. It is golden, smelling of honey, apricot and spices, often with a light tannic grip. Ramandolo is released as a separate designation. There are also dry wines from Verduzzo, which are lighter and simpler.
The variety belongs to Italian wine. For Friuli it is, like some other local grapes, part of the cultural heritage. Sweet Verduzzo is served with desserts, biscuits and cheese. It is seldom seen outside its home area, so each bottle is a reason to get to know the region.
