The Friulano grapes in this case come from historic vineyards, with plants that boast an average age of over 50 years. And this, for enthusiasts of all levels, already sounds like a guarantee of absolute quality. We are on the hills of Dolegna del Collio, in the province of Gorizia, where Ronchi di Cialla passionately conducts its vineyards under an integrated farming system, with very low environmental impact. Cellar processing is accurate and involves, among other things, only the use of indigenous yeasts to trigger the fermentation process. The wine is aged on its fine lees for at least three months with frequent bâtonnage. Light straw yellow, with clear green reflections. The nose is complex and elegant, with floral notes enlivened by freshness and minerality. On the palate, however, it reveals itself to be a wine of great elegance and typicality. Pleasant, well-balanced acidity and a savoury, pleasantly persistent finish. Excellent as an aperitif, it goes perfectly with fish dishes but also with good San Daniele ham.
When you think of Friuli and a company that has been able to represent the region at its best in the world, Ronchi di Cialla is certainly one of the first to come to mind. Owned by the Rapuzzi family since 1970, Ronchi di Cialla was one of the first to adopt integrated agriculture with a very low environmental impact. The basic idea is that wine is a product of the land, the direct result of a natural transformation that does not require external intervention and manipulation. Innovators by nature, the family has never denied a strong link with the past. In fact, Paolo and Dina Rapuzzi are responsible for the rediscovery and enhancement of the autochthonous vine Schioppettino (DOC Colli Orientali del Friuli since 1989) which today, together with Ribolla, Friulano, Refosco, Verduzzo and Pignolo, represents one of the milestones of the company. Today the company can count on a total of 26 hectares and "Cialla" represents one of the most valuable sub-zones of the Colli Orientali del Friuli Denomination.
