Sauvignon 'Ronco delle Mele' Venica 2024

The Sauvignon “Ronco delle Mele” by Venica is also offered in the prestigious Magnum version, which allows you to fully appreciate its extraordinary characteristics. The slower evolution of the large format provides a more layered and multifaceted tasting experience, allowing you to fully appreciate all the nuances of a great wine. Sauvignon Blanc is the international grape variety that has best adapted to the pedoclimatic conditions of Friuli and particularly in the Collio area, producing whites that combine aromatic intensity and refined elegance.  An extraordinary bottle, perfect to serve with first courses featuring shellfish or seafood, risotto with asparagus or aromatic herbs.

The “Ronco delle Mele” Sauvignon Magnum is born in the Tenuta Venica, which has a total area of about 40 hectares divided into different plots located within the Collio territory. The mild and always ventilated climate and the soils composed of calcareous marls and ancient marine sandstones create an ideal habitat for the white grape varieties. The label takes its name from the homonymous vineyard, which is located on a particularly suited hill, but which had suffered damage and some landslides as a result of the bombings that occurred during World War I. To stabilize the soil, Daniele Venica decided to also plant apple trees, which have become the symbol of the vineyard and contribute to enriching environmental biodiversity. Harvesting takes place around mid-September and the grapes undergo a prefermentative maceration of 20 hours at a temperature of 11-12 °C, in protection from oxygen. After soft pressing, the must ferments partly in steel tanks and partly in large wooden barrels of 20-27 hectoliters. Before bottling, it ages in the same containers on the fine lees for about 6-8 months.
