Collio Bianco Ronco Blanchis

This wine represents the essence of the Blanchis hill: a blend of Friulano and Chardonnay from the oldest vineyards, enriched by a balance of Sauvignon and Malvasia that enrich its aromas. Straw yellow color, with intense fruity and floral aromas. Full-bodied and espressive, with good elegance and length.

Production area: the hill (Ronco) of Blanchis in Collio - province of Gorizia - formed by grey and yellowish Eocene marls with few sandstones.

Grape varieties: 45% Friulano, 40% Chardonnay, 10% Sauvignon and 5% Malvasia, Guyot training system, with 4830 vines per hectare.

Wine-making: soft pressing of the whole grape, not destemmed, vinification in stainless steel tanks. The following refinement takes place in steel for Friulano, Malvasia and Sauvignon while the Chardonnay matures in new or second passage oak barrels. This is followed by a further refinement of the mass in stainless steel before bottling.

Alcoholic content: 14% Vol.

Serving temperature: 10-12°C.

Suggested food pairings: first courses of meat, fish and vegetables, second courses of white meat or fish with sauces.
