TRE BICCHIERE: RONCO DEL GELSO $20.00 FLIGHT
Ronco del Gelso “Sot lis Rivis” Pinot Grigio 2008 Friuli, Italia
Put through malolactic fermentation this wine even ages for a brief time in wood, making it much richer than most Grigios you will encounter, but it still finishes with trademark Isonzo minerality.
Ronco del Gelso Sauvignon 2007 Friuli, Italia
Ronco del Gelso (“the hill of the mulberry tree”) is a very serious, famous estate making a broad range of wines, particularly famous for their Merlot, Tocai and Sauvignon.
Ronco del Gelso Friulano 2007 Friuli, Italia
Ronco’s 15 hectares of vines are located on the right bank of the Isonzo river. Due to deep gravely soil, cycles of warm daytime winds from the Adriatic & cool nighttime breezes from the mountains to the north, they make so many fabulous, unique wines.
