Borgo del Tiglio 2024 Ronco Della Chiesa White

Ronco della Chiesa is the estate’s prized single vineyard just behind the winery that was cleared by hand and planted in the late 1950s to Friulano using a local selection massale. The steep terraced slope is naturally sheltered from cold winds blowing from the northeast, while subsoils of marl and sandstone guarantee a generous supply of water to the vines even during the driest period of the year. The vines’ age of over 70 years lends an indelible finesse, adding to an already complex genetic profile of the vineyard. In the cellar, soft pressing is carried out to avoid excess extraction. The wine spends 9-10 months in used French oak to coax out the unique character of this small but mighty vineyard.
