Style:
Zesty/Aromatic Dry Whites
Description:
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 Sauvignon is grown on marl and sandstone and the grapes are hand-picked and placed in small crates, destemmed and left to soak for a few hours before controlled fermentation. It is then left on the lees with batonnage for four months and aged for a further six months in bottle before release. This care from the vineyard to the winery has produced a delicious white with good structure and acidity with pronounced aromas that recall sage, tomato leaves and yellow peppers. (6 x 75 cl)

RoncoDellaBetulle Cabernet Franc Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC
Description: 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.

The 22ha. of vineyards are on the western edge of the Chianti Classico district and part of a larger estate of about 309ha, most of which is woodland. This wine is developing the growing trend in the region for optimising the local grapes, rather than using French imports, and then using modern vinification and ageing methods to produce the best wine possible.
