Tasting Notes
In the glass, Verduzzo Friulano typically shows a warm golden hue with hints of amber as it develops. The nose is inviting, often leaning toward ripe stone fruit, dried apricot, honey, and delicate floral notes, with a subtle earthy nuance that reflects its Friulian origins. On the palate, it is lush and rounded, with concentrated fruit sweetness balanced by a firm streak of acidity that keeps the wine lively rather than heavy. Expect flavours of baked apple, candied citrus, orchard fruit, and a gentle nuttiness on the finish. While enjoyable now for its freshness and fruit, it can also gain extra complexity with a few years of careful bottle aging.

Production
Zorzettig’s Verduzzo Friulano comes from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, a region known for its cool climate influences, varied soils, and strong identity in both white wines and traditional sweet styles. The vineyards benefit from the area’s mix of alpine breezes and Mediterranean warmth, which helps preserve acidity while allowing the grapes to ripen fully. The wine is typically produced with careful harvesting and vinification aimed at preserving the grape’s natural character and concentration, resulting in a dessert wine with both fragrance and structure.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with fruit tarts, almond biscotti, pastries, blue cheese, and desserts featuring apricot, pear, or honey. It can also work well alongside foie gras or lightly sweet almond-based cakes. Serve well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and decanting is generally unnecessary unless the bottle has aged and you want to open up its aromatics.

Producer
Zorzettig is a respected family producer in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, known for highlighting the region’s indigenous grapes and elegant, food-friendly wine styles. With a strong focus on local identity and quality, the estate has earned recognition for expressive wines that reflect both place and tradition, helping preserve and promote Friuli’s winemaking heritage.
