2022 Ronco del Gelso Chardonnay "Siet Vignis"
This wine is made from the grapes of seven Chardonnay vineyards, covering a total area of less than three hectares.
Although it is grown all over the world, Chardonnay can be considered a native Friuli variety.
It should be noted that, like other grape varieties of French origin, it has been present in the Gorizia area for over 150 years and has adapted to our climate and soils with great and consistent results in winemaking terms.
Settevigne is aged in 2,500-litre oak barrels, where it remains on the lees for 12 months.
It has citrusy notes with hints of golden delicious apples and tropical fruit.
It is a prized international variety that has allowed itself to be shaped by the local terroir, taking on its 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.
Our vineyards are all single-Guyot pruned and vertical-trellis trained, with a high vine density to promote root competition and canopy restriction.
During planting, great attention is paid to the selection of clones and rootstocks, which must be suited to our soils. Green cover is planted in alternating rows.
The wines vary according to the grape varieties and average yields are around 1–1.5 kg per vine.
