Why you should buy: Only 330 cases of this rare dessert wine were made by one of the finest estates in Northern Italy.
Nose, palate and pairing: Amber in color, this full-bodied wine has notes of toffee, butterscotch, almonds and citrus blossom on the nose. The palate has got lingering, well-rounded flavors of hazelnuts, pear and honey. Serve this wine cold with fruit and buttery pastries.
The backstory: Dried in the sun for eight weeks after harvest, the juices in these grapes is sweet and concentrated far before press and fermentation begin. La Roncaia, a partnership between winemaker Tibor Gal and the Fantinel family—a family known for their lovely Prosecco—crafts traditional Friulian wines of the highest caliber.
Varietals: 100% Verduzzo
Alcohol:1 3.5%
Appellation: DOCG Friuli Venezia Giulia
La Roncaia farms twenty-two hectares of vineyards in one of Italy’s most prestigious DOC zones, the Collo Orientali del Friuli. There, along the region’s rolling hills, the estate produces its highly sought after wines made from native varieties, like Cabernet Franc, Verduzzo, Pignolo and Pinot Grigio.

We Love This With
Talk about a match made in heaven. Topped with whole pears and a creamy amaretto filling, this Bosc Pear Tart has the goods to take this rare Ramandolo to unforgettable heights. Even its buttery, shortbread crust gets to work, drawing out the round, nutty flavors in this lusciously sweet Verduzzo. This pair has a festive spirit: after the Chateaubriand has been devoured, chill down the wine and serve in dainty glasses with a slice of this memorable tart.
