Verduzzo Friulano
Its main feature, like wine, is the pleasing aroma and bitter almond flavor, thus leading manufacturers not to exceed with the aromas due to aging. If that were the case it would have a too demanding wine, heavy, that satisfies the first sip, not the most elegant and easy to drink, as it should be Friulano. Another striking feature of this wine is the bitter aftertaste, enjoyed in limited quantities of course. As for the color, that of the Friulano must be characterized by a very pale straw yellow; a sign of youth and elegance. Indigenous variety from Friuli, cultivated mainly in the hilly areas.

But it is growing in the hills, thanks to soil and climatic conditions that characterize it, provides better quality results.
