Delicate soft wine but without excessive sucrose, with fruit and flowers bouquet. Perfect pairing with pan-fried foie gras but also exquisite served chilled as an aperitif.
Food/wine pairing
Wine tasting advice
Intense golden yellow. 
An intense and seductive bouquet of fruits (yellow peaches, candied citrus) and dried flowers. Notes of vanilla. 
Mellows light velvety tannins in the finish. Light balsamic notes in the back of the mouth. Vinification
Harvested at the end of October. Low pressure grapes treading. Fermentation in French barrels for 12 months, a very long duration permitted by low temperatures at this time of the year (below 20 °C), without requiring artificial cooling or the use of selected yeasts. Ageing in stainless steel tanks, then in bottles. Residual sugars: Around 85 gr./litre.
Terroir
Ramandolo is a small town that hosts the last vineyards before the mountains that separate Italy from Austria and Slovenia. The vines, exposed to the south at 350 meters altitude, are protected from the northern winds by Mont Bernadia. The marl soil gives the Ramandolo its beautiful structure.
Le vigneron
Giovanni Dri is (re) known as a great gentleman of Friulan wine. In particular, he contributed to the promotion outside the borders of the rare and delicate Picolit grape variety, as well as the Ramandolo DOCG appellation, produced from the local Verduzzo grape variety. His father had sacrificed himself for him to attend school and find a stable job. But when he died in 1968, the call of the vine was irresistible and Giovanni took over the family farm.
On the 10 hectares of land, the “pocket handkerchief,” as he calls it, the last piece of vine before the mountains that separate Italy from Austria and Slovenia, he is now backed by Stefania, an oenologist of formation and who has inherited its hardened character.
