Verduzzo Friulano 0,5 l - Grillo Iole

The Verduzzo Friulano from Grillo Iole in Friuli-Venezia Giulia offers a dense, golden-yellow color in the glass. The bouquet of this dessert wine from Friuli-Venezia Giulia convinces with aromas of dried apricot, acacia, raisins and prunes. Following the aromas further, honey and almond join in.

The Verduzzo Friulano can rightly be described as exceptionally fruit-driven and velvety, as it has been vinified with a wonderfully sweet flavor profile. Powerful and multi-layered, this velvety, dense, creamy and silky dessert wine presents itself on the palate. On the finish, this dessert wine from the wine-growing region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia delights with lovely length. Notes of dried apricot and raisins appear once again. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the marl- and clay-dominated soils are added.

Vinification of Grillo Iole Verduzzo Friulano

The foundation for the powerful Verduzzo Friulano from Italy is grapes of the Verduzzo variety. In Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay and marl soils. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are quickly brought to the winery, where they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and large wooden casks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by maturation for several months on the fine lees before the wine is finally bottled.
