2020 Venica - Friulano Collio Ronco delle Cime

The Pinot Grigio presents itself as fresh and lively on the nose, with a floral bouquet, hints of yellow peach, and a touch of minerality. On the palate, it is enveloping, offering fresh and savory sensations. The fruity notes reappear, culminating in a mouth-closing with a pleasing mineral finish.

On February 6th, 1930, Daniele Venica signed a preliminary purchase agreement for a farmhouse in Cerò, a location within the municipality of Dolegna del Collio, thus becoming the progenitor of the Venica family and the founder of the namesake estate. At that time, the central part of the estate consisted of approximately 10 hectares, including a rural house, a barn, vineyards, fruit trees, and surrounding arable land. Therefore, the Sauvignon "Ronco del Cerò" is a particularly significant wine for the winemakers of Dolegna, as it evokes the origins of the winery and is historically connected to four generations of the family.

-Winery notes

Fruity notes stand out, reminiscent of apricot and aromatic herbs such as sage and thyme. The Malvasia "Pètris" is marked by a strong mineral character. Apricot returns upon tasting. Salinity, accompanied by mineral undertones, takes the lead. Long aromatic persistence.
