2022 Ronco del Gelso Cabernet
£22.50

This wine is made from Cabernet Franc and Carmenere grapes, which were until recently confused in Friuli vineyards.

We have established that the oldest vineyards destined for the production of this wine are actually constituted by Carmenere, while only the most recent plantings are of Cabernet Franc.

Consequently, the label contains only the Cabernet term that sums up the two varieties and is permitted by the DOC regulations in this case.

It is aged for one year in steel tanks on total lees in order to mitigate the edges of an impetuous character. The result is a wine with personality, never heavy, with a brilliant and intense color, without a powerful tannic structure but with a pleasant roundness and finesse.

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.

Pairing Suggestions: It is an excellent match for grilled meats or hamburgers. In Friulian taverns it is served with salami and cheese.

Maturation: Wine processing: red Maceration: destemmed grapes for 15 days Fermentation: with cultured yeasts Ageing and storage: in steel tanks for 1 year on the lees Malolactic fermentation: completed
