THE WINE

The Verduzzo of the Sara & Sara winery is produced with 100% Verduzzo grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery and located in Savorgnano in Torre in the province of Udine. We are about 180-350 meters above sea level, and here the hilly terrain is rich in marl and sandstone.

The winery is organic, from the vineyard to the cellar. There is no use of herbicides, only the mowing of the grass,  and for the defence of the territory, only natural methods are practised.

There are no clarifications or stabilizers in the wines. The winery uses only natural decanting, and some wines are not even filtered.

Of this wine, 3500 bottles are produced every year.

THE WINEMAKING

After a drying period on the plant, which varies between 30 and 40 days, the grapes are harvested by hand and placed in small boxes. Once in the cellar, the winemaking starts with a soft pressing of the whole grapes and a subsequent decanting, which lasts at least 24 hours. Fermentation takes place at natural temperature with only the use of wild yeasts. The wine ages for at least ten months in stainless steel tanks. After bottling, it rests for another four months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Golden yellow. The aroma is delicate with pleasant fruity notes, including apple, pear and hints of apricot. Sweet but not cloying and slightly tannic on the palate with a perfect match between aromas and flavour. Persistence is also good.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Typical dessert wine that goes well with dry pastries; if aged, it is also interestingly combined with hard cheeses. A must try with the apple mostarda of the Luchino Vittoria company.
