Bianco Collio DOC 2021
Refined and rich, Raccaro's cuvée of Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon, Ribolla Gialla and Friulano smells of pear and Mediterranean herbs. The ravishingly balanced taste coats the palate with long-lasting flavours, sweet melting and delicate acidity. A great wine with a lot of potential! SUPERIORE.DE
"Almond paste and white flower nuances introduce the 2021 Collio Bianco. This soothes with its soft textures and pure mix of green melon and sweet herbs. Juicy acidity maintains a wonderfully fresh personality as the 2021 tapers off long and refreshing. This is a blend of Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc." Vinous

Malvasia Bianco Collio DOC 2022
The pure Malvasia from Raccaro is elegant, complex and rich. Pleasantly fragrant with hints of broom and iris and the typically strong and persistent flavour of the grape variety. Salty on the palate, spicy on the final. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2022 Malvasia opens with a delicate bouquet of ripe orchard fruits and sweet herbal tones. Silky-smooth, this washes across the palate with a perfumed mix of pit fruits and candied citrus. The 2022 tapers off with medium length and is pleasantly fresh with a trace of tropical citrus." Vinous

“Vigna del Rolat” Friulano Collio DOC 2022
Intense, very elegant bouquet of apple and almond, extremely complex fruit on the palate; fresh, powerful, rich and with a beautiful citrus-fruity length and mineral vein. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2022 Friulano Rolat is perfumed in the glass with a blend of wildflowers, lime zest and fresh mint. This opens with a lovely inner sweetness contrasted by a reverberation of zesty acidity. Sour melon complicates the palate further, and inner florals amass toward the close. The 2022 keeps the energy high throughout, finishing spicy and with tension. The Rolat is a gorgeous Friulano."

Pinot Grigio Collio DOC 2022
Here comes the new single-varietal Pinot Grigio from one of our absolute favourite winemakers for years. In addition to his Friulano vineyards, Dario Raccaro has been cultivating a small vineyard planted with 100% Pinot Gris vines in Guyot training for many years. Since the 2022 vintage, he has been selling just 2,000 bottles of this fine wine and we are delighted to have received an allocation. Pale straw yellow in colour, with a fine, floral bouquet with traces of flint and white smoke. Well-structured on the palate, soft and flowing, very velvety and deep at the same time, a masterful interpretation of Pinot Gris! SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2022 Pinot Grigio lifts from the glass with an airy freshness, blending minty herbs with crushed rocks and Asian pear. This is soothingly round with ripe orchard fruits and sweet spices that swirl throughout. It tapers off remarkably fresh with an herbal tinge and green melon suggestions slowly fade." Vinous

“Vigna del Rolat” Friulano Collio DOC 2023
Yellow spring flowers, apricots and crushed herbs pour from the glass of this flavoursome white wine, along with an inviting hint of yeast and fresh bread dough. The enveloping, medium-bodied palate picks up where the nose left off, offering ripe pear, unsweetened lemon candy, salt and white almonds alongside tangy acidity. A fine fennel note on the long finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"The Raccaro 2023 Collio Friulano Rolat reveals a dry style with an emphasis on mineral tones and crushed oyster shell. It sees stainless steel only. However, the palate reverts to sweeter flavors of peach nectar and honeydew melon over a mildly creamy consistency." Wine Advocate

Malvasia Bianco Collio DOC 2023
This single-varietal Malvasia is a reference in the Collio every year. Elegant aromas of white peach, jasmine, magnolia, crushed rock and fresh herbs pour from the glass with every sip. On the palate, pine and fresh herbs combine with fresh apples and apricots, with layers upon layers of ever-evolving flavours. Great ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE
"Made in stainless steel only, this is a delicate and pretty wine with a charming and accessible style. If you have a bottle of the Raccaro 2023 Collio Malvasia, you'll enjoy drinking it while the primary aromas are so fresh. Jasmine and honeysuckle are on full display. Try it with an heirloom tomato salad with fresh basil leaves." Wine Advocate

Merlot Collio DOC 2022
Now available again in small quantities after a break of many years: Dario Raccaro's Merlot is a deep, expressive wine that presents opulent tones of blackberry jam and blackcurrants. In other circumstances, such a fruit-driven wine would taste heavy and one-dimensional. However, thanks to the unique buffer of cool Collio air and the heavier clay soils, the wine shows a fascinating personality and, despite its concentration, a great elegance that increases with further aeration. A dense vein of minerals and spices is woven into the long finish. A true showpiece for this grape variety, which is also rarely found in the Collio. SUPERIORE.DE

The Friuli region is famous for its sophisticated Italian white wine culture. Lovers of fine wines who are short on time should definitely travel to Cormòns, the main town in the wine-growing region. The beautiful little town near Udine, already known as a Roman military station in 181 BC, is home to an impressive concentration of top producers of white wines. Dario Raccaro is undoubtedly one of the most important winegrowers, who also play an important role in the international competition for the highest scores. Although the charismatic winemaker likes to sing the praises of his Malvasia - truly an extraordinarily delicious wine - from his small range, it is the Friulano Vigna del Rolàt in particular that has elicited hymns of praise from the wine world. It remains the strong magnet of the still young wine producer, which is rarely found on retailers' shelves with a vineyard area of just under seven hectares and an annual production of just 34,000 bottles.
The Raccaro family can look back on almost a century of history. The year was 1928 when Giuseppe Raccaro decided to flee the stony and barren soil of the Natisone Valley to settle in the middle of the Collio hills in an old colonial house at the foot of Monte Quarin near the church of Santa Maria Apollonia. The fertile farmland he found there allowed Giuseppe to pursue his work as a farmer more successfully than before and to better feed his family.
Mario's son Dario, who has been continuing his father's work since 1970, is also committed to tradition. The charismatic owner of the estate, who now runs the small winery together with his sons Luca and Paolo, decided in the 1980s to concentrate mainly on viticulture. He expanded his own property by adding an old vineyard planted with Friulano at the beginning of the last century. A wise decision: The leased vineyards - according to folk tales, the vines originated from Hungary - were soon to make Raccaro famous with the Vigna del Rolàt. As the same vines and shoots were always used for new plantings, the wine of the same name has retained its unique characteristics and outstanding consistency to this day.
The Dario Raccaro winery prefers stainless steel tanks and cold stabilisation for its white wines. It is the best proof of how you can make a name for yourself in a short space of time with just a few labels and an exceptionally consistent performance. SUPERIORE.DE
"The quality of Dario Raccaro's wines has made it possible for this simple, small winery to reach the Olympus of the regional wine world." Gambero Rosso
