Why we love it
A rich, elegant dessert wine made with verduzzo friulano grapes, dried on the trellis exposed to the famous Bora winds of Trieste are then fermented in new French barriques.
A masterpiece, a multi award winning Italian dessert wine, we dont like listing the awards of our wines, but for the Verduzzo Cratis we just want to say that has been one of the most awarded Italian dessert wine for the last twenty years, including the 3 glasses from the Gambero Rosso.
The Cratis is a dessert wine with a rich and complex nose with acacia honey, nuts and hints of vanilla. In the mouth is pleasantly sweet, concentrated, velvety, soft, supported by the typical tannin of the grape, it can age well and is perfect with medium matured cheeses.
