Excellent
This is a sweet wine of Verduzzo Friulano grapes.
The vineyards are situated on East and South facing hillsides.
The bunches in perfect conditions harvested at the end of September, are left on straw mats under a Northeast facing roof, from which direction the Bora wind, dry and cold, blows from October to December. The grapes dry naturally and reduce the yield to 18 litres per quintal. Before Christmas the grapes are pressed and a dense must is obtained and left to ferment in French oak barriques, half new and half used.
Fermentation and its subsequent arrest after about one month, to preserve the natural sugar residues, is achieved through a system unique to this producer involving heating and cooling of the barriques.
This means that the must/wine is not decanted.
The “Cràtis” has an intense amber colour; acacia honey, walnut husk and vanilla bouquet. Sweet and concentrated, with hints of dry fruit, figs, citrus fruits and caramel, combined with the typical tannin content of the grapes.
This wine obtained a lot of awards: 3 glasses by Gambero Rosso-Slow Food, for four years “5 grappoli” by 2000Vini and 3 stars by Guide of Friuli Venezia Giulia (Chamber of Commerce), 5 spheres by guide “Bere Dolce”, 5 diamonds by DiWine Taste.
It reaches many times the final of competition with the best Italian sweet wines
It also received the silver medal in Decanter World Wine Award 2006 and in International Wine & Spirits Competition.
Has obtained also excellent mentions by foreign press like Wine Advocate of Robert Parker, Wine Spectator, Decanter, Vinum and others
In Italy was be selected in four various years at Merano Wine Festival.
