Ronco delle Cime Friulano and Ronco delle Mele Sauvignon are the two Cru wines of the Venica&Venica Company and both are spokesmen for the “Spirito del Luogo” project. The name Ronco delle Cime is the toponym of the vineyard from which the Friulano del Collio grapes come.
This wine wants to tell the story of our territory, a land of hills, with many people and many stories linked to the tradition of the Family and the Territory.
It was born in 1999 from the desire of Gianni and Giorgio Venica to dedicate a real Cru wine to a special plot so suited to the cultivation of Tocai Friulano grapes. The initial planting dates back to 1974 and in 2005 morphological remodeling was carried out.
