Venica & Venica - Ronco delle Cime Friulano DOC Collio 2023 cl75
|
Description |
It was born in 1999 from the desire of Gianni and Giorgio Venica to dedicate a true Cru wine to a special plot of land so suited to the cultivation of Tocai Friulano grapes. In summer, when the cool “borin” from the North blows between the rows of the Cime hill, it seems to whisper to the lush Friulano vines located there, gently caressing the bunches of grapes as if to cuddle and protect them from the summer heat. "Ronco delle Cime" is a fresh, soft and fragrant Friulano, with a notable minerality. The aromas are delicately smoky, with notes of almond and white peach. The sip reveals elegance and excellent balance. |

Winemaking and Refinement |
Grapes hand-picked and destemmed between 9 and 27 September 2021. The grapes are then macerated for 18/24 hours at a temperature of 11°/12° C in special containers, protected from oxygen with innovative systems by recycling their own fermentation carbon, in order to reduce the contribution of antioxidants. The must ferments and ages on the yeasts for 6 months partly in large wooden barrels of 20/27 HL and partly in steel containers. The wine is then assembled and bottled to coincide with the full moons between March and June 2022. |
