Ucelut is a white wine grape native to Italy where it is found in Friuli Venezia-Giulia.
Where grown: In Friuli Venezia-Giulia Ucelut is found only in the province of Pordenone, close to Friuli Venezia Giulia’s western border with Veneto. With no DOC the only wines available are generic vino da tavola or IGT (such as Delle Venezia and Venezia Giulia).
Viticulture: Medium-large compact bunches; large berries with thick skins.
Wine style: A good Ucelut made from late-harvested grapes produces is a dessert wine that is neither overly sweet nor too full-bodied, characterized by aromas and flavors of ripe citrus, pineapple, and sweet almonds; while sweet almonds, acacia honey, ripe mango, and dried apricot are common in the wines made by air-drying the grapes.
