Tasting notes
This is a truly exceptional wine from a highly regarded estate. It has fruity aromas of gooseberry, mango, pineapple, passion fruit and melon, wrapped around intense spicy scents of sage, anisette, box wood, fig leaves, tomato leaves and grapefruit. Very long finish with lingering mango and gooseberry. The ‘Ronco delle Mele’ Sauvignon wine is now one of the most acclaimed and awarded white wines in Italy, and has become a true symbol of Venica & Venica.

About this wine
Venica & Venica stands as one of Friuli-Venezia Giulia's most respected estates, crafting elegant wines from the limestone-rich hills of Collio Goriziano DOC. The Ronco delle Mele Sauvignon Blanc exemplifies the region's cool-climate precision and the producer's commitment to expressing terroir through meticulous winemaking. This white wine captures the vibrant character of Sauvignon Blanc grown in the unique microclimate where Alpine influences meet Mediterranean warmth, resulting in a wine of remarkable balance and complexity.
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes thrive in Collio's distinctive white marl and limestone soils, which impart minerality and structure to the wine. Venica & Venica's philosophy emphasizes respect for the vineyard and natural expression of each vintage, allowing the wine to showcase citrus fruit, green fruit, and subtle spicy notes with an impressively long finish. At 13.5% ABV, this is a refined and food-friendly expression perfect for discerning palates.
This white pairs beautifully with shellfish, white fish, fresh salads, and aromatic dishes featuring green vegetables and fresh herbs. Its crisp acidity and complexity also make it an excellent choice with goat cheese and citrus-based preparations, making it an ideal selection for fine dining, villa entertaining, and sophisticated coastal entertaining.
