Descrizione

Verduzzo di Cialla, in a 375ml bottle produced by the Ronchi di Cialla winery, represents an exquisite and authentic expression of the Verduzzo grape, typical of Friuli Venezia Giulia. This sweet wine stands out for its perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, making it an excellent companion for dessert or a refined aperitif.

Visually, Verduzzo di Cialla shows a brilliant golden yellow color, which reflects its richness and intensity. On the nose, the wine offers a complex and seductive bouquet with predominant aromas of honey, dried apricot and floral notes of acacia and chamomile, enriched by a light touch of vanilla resulting from the aging in wood.

On the palate, Verduzzo is rich and velvety, with a sweetness well balanced by a fresh acidity that supports its structure and prolongs the gustatory pleasure. The flavors of candied fruit and honey mix with delicate sweet spices, leading to a persistent and aromatic finish that leaves a pleasant sensation of cleanliness and freshness.

This wine pairs beautifully with fruit desserts, dry pastries and blue cheeses, but is also perfect on its own as a meditation wine. Thanks to its 375ml format, it is ideal for special occasions or as an elegant gift for lovers of high-quality sweet wines.

Verduzzo di Cialla is a wine that deserves to be discovered and appreciated for its ability to fully express the character of an indigenous Friuli grape variety, offering a unique and memorable tasting experience.

Winery history

The Rapuzzi family founded the estate in 1970 in the small Cialla valley, restoring local vineyards and helping to save Schioppettino when the variety was nearly lost. In the 1970s and 1980s the winery perfected the recovery of vine cuttings, produced the first vintages of Schioppettino and received recognition that brought Cialla’s wines to international auctions. The denomination and boundaries of the Cialla cru were officially established by ministerial acts and regulations in subsequent years, consolidating the estate’s reputation as a custodian of Friulian indigenous varieties.

Production philosophy

The estate works exclusively with native grape varieties, favoring controlled yields, selective harvesting and minimal agronomic interventions. In the cellar, winemaking is kept as natural as possible and wines undergo extended ageing — including in wood — to achieve long-lived wines with a strong expression of terroir. Biodiversity protection and low-impact practices are integral to the production method.

Terroir and vineyards

The winery is located in the Cialla valley, a small hilly amphitheatre overlooking the Colli Orientali del Friuli, characterized by a tempered microclimate between the Adriatic Sea and the Julian Alps and by marly, well-stratified soils that favor the cultivation of local indigenous varieties. The area is officially recognized as the cru CIALLA for certain traditional varieties.

Awards and recognitions

Risit d'Aur for the revival of Schioppettino; 'Biodiversity Friendly' certification; some historic vintages auctioned by Christie's.
