Only in Italy: the Ucelùt grape

The Ucelùt is an autochthonous grape from Friuli in the North-western Italy. You can find it only near Valeriano, Pinzano al Tagliamento and Castelnuovo del Friuli. It is a so-called "uva uccellina" or, very loosely, "bird grape" because it grew near woods and bird used to eat its fruits. The Ucelùt gives a very good dessert wine.
