Azienda Agricola RONCO BLANCHIS STORY It was only in 2001 that Giancarlo, Lorenzo and Alberto Palla purchased the estate and, with the prestigious collaboration of oenologist Gianni Menotti, they continue to transform the quality of these grapes into fine wines. Ronco Blanchis (from the Friulan “fianco, or side of a hill”, “Blanchis”, white, like the colour of wine, vocation of these lands) grows grapes in order to produce Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Friulano and Pinot Grigio. The farm produces wines D.O.C.:
The decision to restrict production to a few wines is dictated by the desire to produce high quality products that could be the expression of the local variety. VINIFICATION For this reason, the grapes are not crushed and de-stemmed but are sent directly to the press and the must obtained is fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures, limiting the contact with the air. This technique allows to preserve all the flavors from the grapes to the wine in the bottle. |

The RIBOLLA GIALLA, a flagship grape variety of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, finds one of its most authentic expressions in the Collio area.

It opens with delicate notes of acacia blossom and hints of woodland undergrowth, accompanied by subtle mineral nuances. On the palate, it is lively and dynamic, enhanced by a pleasant tension that invites another sip.

Sauvignon 2025 DOC Collio Ronco Blanchis
The SAUVIGNON is a grape variety that, in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, has developed an aromatic expression that is truly unique when compared to other parts of the world. Its name originates in south-western France and is derived from "sauvage" (wild), indicating its connection with the wild wine variety. It offers hints of fresh herbs and elderflower, but also features a beautiful core of ripe fruit. As a variety that does not thrive in overly hot conditions, it finds an ideal environment on the hills of Blanchis, where it expresses its character at its very best. It is a wine of remarkable depth, tempting and easy to enjoy, yet also quite polarising due to its aromatic profile. It is like someone with a strong personality, you either love them or hate them. And for us, it is always a great love!
