In the glass
Aroma: dried apricot, honey, candied lemon, chamomile, beeswax
Palate: dried fig, honey, candied citrus, saline finish
The Rapuzzi family's late-harvest Verduzzo Friulano from Cialla, aged in large Slavonian oak botti. Dried apricot and honey over a saline-edged sweet finish.
What it pairs with
-
Aged Roquefort
Blue cheese salt finds a foil in the wine's honey sweetness; saline finish refreshes between bites. -
Foie gras with fig compote
Candied lemon aromatics lift the offal richness; full body and high acidity handle the foie's fat. -
Walnut tart with honey
Beeswax and chamomile aromatics echo the dessert; honey palate handles the walnut.
