Located in Buttrio, 12 kilometers south of Udine, in the district of the Colli Orientali del Friuli, a land of gently rolling hills known for its superior wines. The Estate unfolds across 110 hectares, nearly all covered with vineyards and has belonged to the Maniago family for more than 500 years.
They take special pride in using only grapes produced from the vines grown in their vineyards, and 70% of these are from selected cloning on the Estate.
Tasting Notes:
Ruby red in colour with garnet hints. A multi-layered aromatic set, merging typically herbaceous scents and intense perfumes of red berries, in a fine, clean and elegant complexity. Structurally balanced, warm, smooth, appropriately tannic.
La Roncaia Merlot is an engrossing and long-lasting wine.
