Ronco delle Cime

The grapes come from the estate’s highest vineyard, at around 200 to 270 metres above sea level, facing north-west and shaped by cool mountain winds. The typical Collio soil consists of weathered marl and sandstone. After around 18 hours of skin contact at 11 to 12 °C, the wine matures for six months on the fine lees: around 40 per cent in large oak casks of 20 to 27 hl, with the remainder in stainless steel tanks. It shows Williams pear, yellow peach, herbs and meadow flowers, along with freshness, juiciness, saline tension, full body and an almond-like finish.
