History

Thanks to studies conducted by the University of Udine, it is proving that Verduzzo Friulano is an ancient vine. It was in fact cultivated long before the arrival of the Romans in Friuli. The DNA of this vine testifies to the arrival of the vinifera plants from the Middle East, through the temperate zones of Central Europe.

In 1823 we have the first historical attestation of Verduzzo (Di Maniago, Verduzzo: white from bottle and cask). The ampelographic exposition in Udine dates back to 1863: this grape was considered worthy of the first place among the homegrown white wines and among all highly recommended. Towards the end of 800 the Verduzzo turns out to be the most important and widespread variety of our region thanks above all to its rusticity and resistance to diseases (Oidium).

In the early 1900s the Verduzzo producers won numerous prizes at the exhibitions of the time, both with the “dry” and “apassito” versions, and among these the most appreciated were the liqueur wines of Ramandolo. Also sought after its quality of “foaming”. In 1970 Ramandolo was recognized as a particularly amiable and fruity version of Verduzzo. In 1992 the “Ramandolo” sub-zone of the D.O.C. was recognized and qualified. Eastern hills of Friuli. In 2001 the establishment of the D.O.C.G. “Ramandolo” becomes the first in Friuli Venezia Giulia.
