“Ronco delle Mele” is one of the most prestigious labels of Venica winery. It will be able to astonish you with its freshness and it will seduce you with its minerality. A white wine worked in Slavonian oak barrels and in steel that is worth of all the recognitions received by the critics year after year. A traditional wine that make everybody fall in love with its intense aromaticity and its irresistible tasting evolution. It is produced with 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes coming from a vineyard with south-west orientation, that allows a slow and correct maturation that preserves the characteristics of the variety. The maceration of the pressed grapes lasts for at least 24 hours at a controlled temperature of 11°C. It is managed in specific containers protected by oxygen through the recycling of its fermentation CO2, to reduce the quantity of antioxidants. 20% of the must then ferments and ages on its yeasts for 5 months in big barrels (20 HL), the other 20% in steel.
Features of “Sauvignon Ronco delle Mele”
Intense and shiny straw yellow colour with green shades. Its perfume is typical of the variety. It is characterized by vegetable hints like green pepper, box, tomato leaves, enriched after a while by shades that recall grapefruit, minerals and flint. The taste is sour and savoury with an endless persistence.
Recommended food pairings while tasting this Sauvignon by Venica
Perfect with aromatic dishes. Excellent with “risotto” with asparagus and seafood. It has to be served at 8°C in a wide wine glass that helps the diffusion of the perfume.
