"Here's a pretty red wine from Northeast Italy with well-balanced aromas of black fruit, spice and smoke. The wine has an elegant, compact feel and offers extraordinary intensity in the mouth thanks to its well integrated tannins and acidity. Nice job." -91 points Wine Enthusiast |
Description:
WINE:
"The soil is a mixture of Sandstone with Clay and Marl. After a late harvest the grapes are partially raisined for three weeks. Vinification takes place in 5,000 litre oak vats. The grapes are destemmed but not crushed and macerate for 25 to 40 days at a temperature that never exceeds 28 ÃÅ C. During that time we punch down the cap daily. After a brief period in steel to allow the wine to settle, it is transferred to new and once-used barriques to age slowly for 12 months. The only operation we undertake is to rack the wine every 90-100 days to remove any sediment. At the end of this period the wine is bottled and left to age in the bottle for 6 months."
"Deep garnet red with a slightly purple rim. Evolved, vibrant nose with hints of wild berries. The palate is powerful, velvety and warm. Excellent with game or grilled meat." -Winery
WINERY:
"La Roncaia was created by the Fantinel Family in partnership with inspired winemaker Tibor Gal to make traditional Friulian wines of the highest distinction, and also to express the potential for wines, both white and red, in the Collio Orientali del Friuli zone. This dedication to the traditions and potential of the region of Friuli has led them to produce only the native varieties of Cabernet Franc, Picolit, Pignolo, Pinot Grigio, Refosco, Sauvignon Blanc, Schioppettino, Tazzalenghe, Tocai Friulano, and Verduzzo. The estate's vineyards are located around Nimis, Attimis, and Ramandolo in the hills of Friuli that were formed at least three hundred and fifty years ago. Passion is at the heart of all operations at La Roncaia: the plants are the result of deliberate clonal selection and careful vineyard management, while winemaking is thoroughly and skillfully designed with a singular goal of excellence." -Importer
