Colli Orientali del Friuli – Friulano – Ronco delle Betulle – 2022

The Friulano from the Ronco delle Betulle winery

The Friulano from the Ronco delle Betulle winery is produced with 100% Friulano grapes that grow in the area named  Rosazzo in Friuli Venezia Giulia.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest is strictly manual. Once in the cellar, the grapes are de-stemmed, cooled and left to macerate for a short period. After a soft pressing,  the must ferments in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16°C. The Wine rests on the lees for 5 to 6 months and is assembled and bottled the April following the harvest. Followed a brief period in the cellar before being placed on the market.

Tasting the wine of the winery

Intense straw. The aroma is very elegant with pleasant notes of flowers that intertwine well with mineral hints to close with delicate scents of bitter almond, typical of this grape variety. Velvety and soft on the palate with an excellent correspondence between perfumes and flavor.

FOOD PAIRINGS

It goes well with fish, vegetables, soups but also as an aperitif. Must try with eggs and asparagus.

THE WINERY

We are located in the town of Rosazzo near Manzano in Friuli Venezia Giulia. Here in 1967 the Ronco delle Betulle company was founded thanks to the vision of Giovanbattista Adami, Simone’s grandfather, who bought 7 hectares of land in this location particularly devoted to viticulture.

At the beginning of the 1980s, the reins of the company passed to Ivana Adami, daughter of the founder. Ivana certainly brought an innovative footprint to the company; she decided to bottle all the wines that until then were sold in bulk, and to expand the size of the winery by purchasing new land. Today the winery has 12 hectares of vineyards, all located on the Rosazzo hill… go to the winery page
