Ronco delle Betulle nestles in the hilly eastern part of Friuli in a subzone called Rosazzo, an estate of approximately seventeen hectares, of which ten are under vine. The hills of Rosazzo benefit from a special microclimate determined by several geographical factors: its proximity to the sea and its altitude. The sea mitigates the climate, the elevation ensures that Rosazzo is well ventilated and well lit, whilst the vicinity of Mount Caterina protects the area from the northerly wind. Ivana Adami has a purist wine-making philosophy: that the essential character of the wine derives from the sun, the soil and the area and that typicity should be respected and preserved, never altered. Elegance and freshness are other watchwords; these are wines with keen acidity. The exceptional Cabernet Franc is from low-yielding vines from grapes harvested in mid-October. The skins are soaked for twelve days and there is a malolactic in wood. 40% of the wine is aged in large Slavonian barrels; 30% in second fill barriques and 10% in second fill tonneaux for sixteen months with ten months on the lees to gain aromatic complexity and mouthfeel. The wine is bottled without filtration. The aromatic fruit is bolted together by some serious acidity, but the wine has more personality and texture than a lot of 'string-beany' Cabernet Francs.
