In the glass
Aroma: dried apricot, honey, candied lemon, chamomile, beeswax
Palate: dried fig, honey, candied citrus, saline finish
The estate's late-harvest Verduzzo Friulano, a Friulian sweet-wine tradition. Dried apricot and honey aromatics over a saline-edged finish that keeps the wine off cloying territory.
