Centuries ago, when most of the land was farmed by "mezzadri", or tenants, the aristocracy used to drink Picolit. The tenants themselves, however, drank Verduzzo.

Of course, Verduzzo does not have the finesse of the world's greatest sweet wines. But we at Dorigo respect its considerable dignity. The grapes raisin on the vine for six weeks before they are soft-crushed, and then fermented in French oak barriques. The wine ages in the same barriques for one year.

Try Verduzzo with cheese, especially blue or very mature cheeses, or even with almond or hazelnut biscuits!.
