Description
History
Filippon, a modest company located in Nimis, in the heart of Friuli Venezia Giulia, celebrates the ancient nickname of the Comelli family on its label. Led by Lorenzo Comelli, the company stands out for the production of the renowned Ramandolo, one of the most prestigious sweet wines in the area, born from the 1999 harvest. This unique nectator is the result of Verduzzo Friulano grapes affected by the prized noble rot.
Grapes used
Verduzzo 100%
Production method
The vines, mostly grown according to the “cappuccina” system, are sold towards the end of October to ensure an optimal concentration of sugars. The grapes are dried in boxes or on racks in the cellar and pressed in the first half of November. Ferments in French oak barriques.
Alcohol content
13%
Tasting note
Bright amber color. On the nose intense aromas of dried apricot, nuts and sweet spices. In the mouth, it is satisfying and persistent, with a sweetness balanced by citrine acidity, concluding with a typically almond aftertaste.
Possible combinations
The ideal pairing is with mature cheeses or complex desserts rich in flavour, otherwise as a great meditation wine.
