  1. Ronco dei Tassi Rosso Cjarandon Riserva 2018
    Ronco dei Tassi Rosso Cjarandon Riserva 2018

    It's like a Bordelaise immigrant in Friuli. I don't mean these varieties (merlot, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon) are new to the area, in fact the cabernet family have been planted up here for centuries, I mean the style of the wine blends classical cabernet production - modern vinification and small oak elevage - with a local fruit spectrum which offer something different to their spirit home in France. 

    Middle weight. Dark cherry. dark berry and leafy aromatic with a touch of earl grey tea. Palate is clean and pure, sweetly fruited but also lithe and direct. Dark chocolate and oak splice are woven into the core of the wine. It's a lovely example, the main feature for me being that it holds excellent ripeness but is also mid-weight and cool fruited. Excellent luncheon merlot cab blend that will age and improve for 10-15 years. MICHAEL MCNAMARA

  2. Ronchi di Cialla Ciallarosso 2020
    Ronchi di Cialla Ciallarosso 2020

    The 2020 Ciallarosso is sweetly floral, with violets and roses giving way to hints of white pepper, red currants and smoke. This is silky and cool-toned with ripe wild berries and a pronounced minerality, all energized by bright acidity. It leaves a primary coating of concentration while tapering off long and structured with sweet tannins and hints of licorice. The Ciallarosso is a blend of Refosco and Schioppettino. Eric Guido, Vinous

  3. Ronchi di Cialla Schioppettino di Cialla 2017
    Ronchi di Cialla Schioppettino di Cialla 2017

    The 2017 Schioppettino di Cialla is wildly spicy and fresh, with an intense burst of peppery rose and smokey raspberry offset by a dusting of savory spice. This is silky-smooth and sapid with masses of mineral-tinged dark red fruits offset by zesty acidity. It finishes potent with a staining of primary concentration and a coating of sweet tannins. What a beauty, and with the potential for a very long life. In 2017, Ronchi di Cialla lost 30% of their production due to frost at the end of April. Eric Guido, Vinous

  4. Ronchi di Cialla Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso 2014
    Ronchi di Cialla Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso 2014

    The 2014 Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso di Cialla is a darkly alluring and rich red, with brown spice, smoked meats and ground coffee giving way to woodland berries. Savory red fruits and exotic spice offset a lovely inner sweetness, all enriched by a touch of hazelnut. Soft tannins, ginger and sour citrus are left lingering as the 2014 tapers off almost juicy in feel. This is a unique style of the Refosco, courtesy of the difficult 2014 vintage, but one that any fan of Ronchi di Cialla should not be without. Eric Guido, Vinous 2023
