2020 Ronco del Gelso Riesling "Schulz"
Although Friuli may not be its home – the climate is certainly not the same as in Alsace, so don’t expect a German Riesling – the local wines made from this variety are undoubtedly good.
They boast excellent acidity and aromatics, which develop the characteristic benzene notes with age.
I prefer them at least two years old, when they acquire greater personality.
Our vineyards are situated on the small plain created by the tributaries of the Isonzo, which extends from the hills of the Collio region towards the Adriatic Sea.
The poor, stony, dry soils are ideal for viticulture.
Indeed, poor soils are very important to limit the vigour of the vines and prevent excessive production.
Our vineyard strategies have always respected the distinctive nature of the soil, whose low fertility makes them perfect for high-quality viticulture.
