Friulano In Volo Sul – Rodaro – 2023

The wine Friulano in Volo by Rodaro winery

This Friulano from the Rodaro winery is part of the “In Volo Sul” line or the wines of the plain. Climate change has made the family consider the excellent qualitative potential of the flat land, with its long sunny summer days and the cool, moderate winds that blow from the Adriatic. The soil here is characterized by gravel and a sizeable stony surface which enhances the temperature range between day and night, thus favouring grapes with a marked endowment of aromas and aromatic and elegant wines.

Respect for the environment and the work done in the vineyard with a view to sustainability, together with the low production per hectare, enhance the quality and refinement of the production of plain wines, giving a unique character to this line of wines.

THE WINEMAKING

Once in the cellar after harvesting, the grapes are softly pressed and left to ferment at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. The wine then ages on the lees in French oak barrels for a period ranging between 7 and 10 months. After blending and bottling, the wine rests for a few months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

Tasting the Friulano by Rodaro

Pale straw yellow. The aroma is pleasantly aromatic with hints reminiscent of wildflowers, which intertwine well with fruit notes to close with the classic bitter almond scent typical of this vine. Fresh on the palate, with an acidity that invites you to continue drinking.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Perfect as an aperitif, must try with  cold cuts and in particular with San Daniele raw ham.

THE WINERY

The first official document relating to the Rodaro winery dates back to March 23, 1846. At that time, the Rodaro family were small landowners in Friuli under the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Part of their land had vines, but the true foundation of the Rodaro winery was established thanks to the daily dedication of Uncle Edo in caring for the vineyard and winery, along with the entrepreneurial spirit of his brother Luigi. The winery expanded when his son Paolo joined the enterprise and led the company. Today, Rodaro is one of the most dynamic wineries in the Friuli region… keep reading
