VENICA Ronco Del Cerà Sauvignon DOC Collio 2022

VENICA Ronco Del Cerà Sauvignon DOC Collio 2022
The Sauvignon “Ronco del Cerà” is a particularly important wine for the winemakers of Dolegna, as it is evocative of the origins of the winery and historically linked to the four generations of the family.
On 6 February 1930 Daniele Venica signed the preliminary purchase agreement for a farmhouse in Crò, a town located in the municipality of Dolegna del Collio, thus becoming the founder of the Venica family and founder of the company of the same name. At the time, the central body of the estate consisted of approximately 10 hectares including a rural house, stable, vineyards, fruit trees and surrounding arable land.

Color
The green shades that appear in youth then turn into dazzling intense straw yellow shades.
Olfactory notes
The different exposures to the North, South and South-East of the vineyards give a broad olfactory spectrum. The southern orientation and the prolonged afternoon sun rays give evident warm and fruity notes of yellow peach and melon; while colder climates give classic and elegant vegetal notes such as the aroma of elderflowers.
Tasting notes
On the palate it confirms its elegance. The sip is fresh, rich in flavor, with interesting floral and fruity references. Consistent, structured and with good taste-olfactory persistence.

Approximately 10% of the wine ages on the yeasts in large 20/27 HL wooden barrels while the remaining part in steel containers.
