The Colli Orientali’s famed white wines rest on their lees
for 6-8 months in stainless steel vats. So too the Cabernet
Franc, the most herbaceous of all the reds. As for the Merlot
& Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, following a brief passage
in oak, they will continue to age and mature in the bottle.
The Verduzzo Friulano, one of Friuli’s native ‘sweet’ white
varietals, is noted for its rustic charm and signature tannin.

The RODARO Winery was founded in 1846. Today, as
the guardian of its 50 hectares of vineyards, Paolo Rodaro
(farmer and oenologist), is the 6th generation of the family
to carry on the great RODARO wine-making tradition.
In Friuli’s eastern hills, nestled between the Adriatic Sea
and the Julian Alps is where you’ll find the winery and its
much cherished terraced vineyards.
Planted in the prized local terrain,
known as the ‘PONCA’ (a mineral
rich, calcareous marl & sandstone
formation), this is a land where
countless generations, dating back
as far as Romans, have dedicated
themselves to the cultivation of the
vine. It’s no wonder when one also
considers this area’s privileged aspect
and its warm, well-ventilated microclimate. Such gifts of Nature are
priceless ingredients that together
combine to create the much sought after minerality and
acidity that you will find in each RODARO wine.

The RODARO Winery produces an average of 200,000
bottles per vintage. All are single estate wines produced
exclusively from grapes hand-harvested from our own
vineyards. Our production, which is equally split between
White & Red wines, continually seeks to find the balance
between wine-making traditions of old and today’s more
advanced techniques. Indeed, one of the hallmarks of the
RODARO Winery is its dedication to research. In both
the vineyard and the cellar, we endeavour to sustain our
traditional heart while simultaneously working to break
new ground. In every bottle of RODARO, a unique
pleasure awaits.

RODARO’s reserve selection
of Evolutionary red wines.
Paolo Rodaro’s ‘LIMITED EDITION’ wines are the result of
years of research and experimentation into the evolutionary
potential of Friuli’s Red & White wines. Originating from our
prized hillside vineyards, our grapes are bestowed with a unique
minerality and acidity, two of the most prized ingredients when
producing age-worthy wines of outstanding structure.

The technique of additionally
ripening these red grapes,
firstly on the vine and
thereafter in the fruit store,
facilitates the later vinification
of our ‘ROMAIN’ Reserve
Red wines. At the harvest,
all these grapes are manually
selected and carefully placed
into small crates, which then
spend an additional period
in ambient fruit storage. This
is to ensure the required
evolution of the grape
tannins.
When considering this style
of vinification, it already presupposes that the harvested
grapes are mature, healthy
and dry. As such conditions
are not always prevalent, it
is therefore only in certain
vintages that these wines can
be produced.
As ‘Evolutionary’ Reds,
ROMAIN wines display
intense bouquets and offer an
array of complex flavours that
deliver wonderful length and
persistence.
Truly unforgettable, these
are wines that appreciate
greatly with the natural
passage of time.
As for the ROMAIN label
itself, remarkably it was
designed by Paolo Rodaro’s
daughter, Giulia, when
she was just 5 years old. It
represents a part of the gate
that leads into the courtyard
at the Rodaro home.

Our Picolit is produced
from the native vine of the
same name. Considered
by many to derive
from the word ‘piccolo’
(meaning small), this
vine is renowned for its
incredibly low yield of
sparsely-bunched, small
grapes. With such a limited
and indeed ‘precious’
production, Picolit is highly
ranked amongst Europe’s
finest sweet wines.
