The history

DOC FRIULI COLLI ORIENTALI

We are located in Friuli, northestern Italy, where the Colli Orientali hills host small and large wine realities. The microclimate and soil composition have elected this land to be the cradle of good wine. Years of maturation and the region’s history have contributed to this. The terroir speaks to us, and it is only by keep listing to it that we are able to respect it.

Roberta Borghese, the owner of these Ronchi (steep slopes), has understood their true values and is enthralled by the rhythm and beauty of nature.

The Ronchi di Manzano winery was established in 1969, but its vineyards have an ancient tradition of centuries. Everything started with the Counts of Trento, who had a special predilection for the Ronchi di Manzano, both for its location and for its soil composition. Its vineyards were considered to be some of the bests of the whole area and they were very requested by French and Savoy noblemen.

The vineyards in Manzano

IN THE CRADLE OF GOOD WINE

The Ronchi di Manzano winery stands in the municipalty of Manzano and covers 60 hectares of hill, 40 of which surround the cellar. Inhabitants of this region refer to the chalky soil that characterise these terroirs as ponca, very rich in micro elements and mineral salts, this instils an incomparable character to the wines, it gives them distinctiveness.

Since the very beginning, as soon as Roberta has entered into the winery’s business, she has decided to replant all the oldest vineyards in order to increase their density per hectare. She has also decided to apply short pruning methods, as she believes that a high-quality wine can be only be obtained having high quality grapes. It is for this reason, that in the countryside, the vineyards are treated with less chemical products as possible and only strict hand picking is used for the harvest, this in order not to damage her precious grapes.

These are also the bases of the principles that characterize the winery’s corporate philosophy.

The vineyards in Rosazzo

VIGNETI SUGGESTIVI E INCANTEVOLI

Ronc di Rosazzo, is made up of 20 hectares of vineyards that are located on the highest hill of Rosazzo, one of the most suited area for wine production of the Friuli Colli Orientali. This terroir is the true spirit of nature. When arriving in Rosazzo, one of the most enchanting and impressive landscape of vineyards can be admired. The marly soil, referred as ponca, keeps constant the level of humidity preventing dryness damages. The presence of mineral salts and trace elements, the gentle terroir morphology, transmit to the bunches unique accents and shades.

Elegance and quality are the characteristics that distinguish the white wine of this particular wine production area; almost femmine, they play with delicate shades, never excessive, always balanced. Well assembled and well molten aromas, intense, fresh and slim, they require more time to refine and therefore to express all their charming suavity.
