Ramandolo
Wine · PDO · 2 municipalities
Unlike neighboring regional whites, the Ramandolo DOCG appellation in Friuli-Venezia Giulia must be crafted exclusively from 100% Verduzzo Friulano grapes harvested within just two municipalities, Nimis and Tarcento. This sweet wine, recognized since 2004, is defined by a restricted maximum yield of 8.0 tonnes per hectare and a minimum total alcohol of 14.0% vol. On the palate, its golden yellow pour reveals a velvety, full-bodied character that balances sweetness with a distinct tannic note. Rather than requiring mandatory aging times, the appellation controls quality through strict release dates, holding the base wine until November of the year following harvest.
