Friularo is a ancient grape famous in Venice Republic for its high quality, and even its high “longevity”, due to its high acidity and tannin content that helps perfect conservation in time. For this reason, it was called “vino da viaggio” (trip wine): it was suitable for the long trips of venetian ships.

The smell is the raspberry and cherry, the taste is rich and deep, balanced by an important acidity.
