Ronchi di Cialla

Ronchi di Cialla

Ronchi Di Cialla, in translation: the hills of Cialla, is located in the appeal Colli Orientali del Friuli, definitely the most valued in the Friuli-Venezia-Giulia region. When Paolo and Dina Rapuzzi bought the Cialla estate in the 1970s, determined to devote themselves to growing local varieties, Schioppettino was considered an extinct variety known from manuscripts and memories of older people. The two managed to collect 70 vines from the area, which allowed them to plant an entire plot, thus saving this variety from extinction. The very first samples show that the variety ages very well and is not inferior to the large international varieties in elegance and complexity. To date, all Schioppettino vines are clones of those rescued by the Rapuzzi family. When you are on the Italian wave, instead of reaching for Nebbiolo or Sangiovese, try this resurrected variety. Deliver this pleasure to your palate.

Friuli-Venezia Giulia

Friuli-Venezia Giulia

Friuli - Venezia Giulia, a region in northeastern Italy, borders Austria to the north, Slovenia to the east, the Adriatic Sea to the south, and the Veneto region to the west. It has an area of 3,030 square miles (7,847 square kilometers), covering the provinces of Udine, Pordenone, Gorizia, and Trieste. To the north, the dense wall of the Carnic Alps, broken only by the Monte Croce (Plöcken) pass and the low saddle of Tarvisio, forms an impressive backdrop to the valley of the Tagliamento River, the heart of Friuli. The southern part of the region is a low coastal plain, part of which is occupied by the shallow lagoons of Grado and Caorle. To the southeast, this part of the former Free Territory of Trieste, which is now an integral part of Italy, extends like a narrow corridor between the limestone plateau of Carso (Kras) and the Adriatic Sea, all the way to the city of Trieste. The region varies in terrain from rocky uplands and foothills in the north to dry or marshy lowlands in the south. The precipitation in the north - the highest in Italy - favors the development of natural pastures for livestock, and the ham and dairy products in Friuli are well-known. Now, as Italian winemakers south and west of Friuli have also mastered the art of making fresh, fruity white wines, particularly those from Alto Adige, their colleagues in Collio and Colli Orientali must try to justify their price premium, usually, but not necessarily, with greater use of small oak barrels. The standard of winemaking here is generally very high and yields are relatively low, even if the price for this is that the wines can have remarkably similar tastes.

Pignolo

Пиньоло е червен сорт грозде с древен фриулски произход. Това е древна лоза, чиито най-ранни сведения датират от 1300-1400 г. в редица публикации и свидетелстват за разпръснатото разпространение на сорта в хълмистия район на Rosazzo. Наличието на лозя в абатството на Rosazzo датира от края на XVIII в., когато в различни текстове от онова време се споменава „едно отлично черно вино, наречено Pignolo“. През следващото столетие Пиньоло, което е много чувствително към брашнеста мана, постепенно се изоставя в полза на по-продуктивни сортове, дотолкова, че в края на XIX век изчезва от ампелографските атласи. Останали са само няколко неконтролирани производства, а Пиньоло често е бил в купаж с други червени вина. Страстта на няколко фриулиански лозари гарантира спасяването на този местен сорт грозде от почти сигурно изчезване и по този начин води до възраждането му. Това се случва в началото на 80-те години, но едва през 1995 г. Пиньоло става част от DOC Colli orientali del Friuli. От ампелографска гледна точка гроздовете на Пиньоло са малки, плътни, с цилиндрична форма. Плодовете са малки и кръгли, с дебела, пруинозна, твърда и дъбилна синьо-черна ципа. Виното е светло-рубиненочервено на цвят, с добро алкохолно съдържание и киселинност, хармоничен, плътен и деликатен вкус и типичен аромат. То може да се остави да отлежава няколко години, дори в барици, с отлични резултати. Съчетава се добре с ястия от бяло и червено месо.
