One of Italy's best white wines. Daniele Venica purchased the plot Ronco del Ceró where he first planted Sauvignon Blanc in 1930. This wine sees a modest amount of skin contact for 18-20 hours. A small part of the juice ages on the lees in small barrels ...
Chateau de Saint Martin is one of the most premium producers in the appellation of Provence. Its vineyards are overlooked by a large Chateau built in 1740. The original site was a priory of the monks of Lerins, with the old cellars underneath still intact and dating from the 12th century. The vineyards of Chateau de Saint Martin sit at an altitude of up to 130 metres, and lie at the junction of two distinct geological zones, offering an unique terroir. Classified as a "Cru Classe," Saint Martin produces some of the finest Provencal Rose in the world, as well as other reds and whites in smaller amounts.

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.
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.

More of a whisper than a shout, the 2021 Friulano Ronco Delle Cime impresses with a cooling blend of minty herbs, white flowers and dried apricots. A pleasant inner sweetness up front nicely complements its supple textures and floral-infused peach frui...
