  1. Ronchi di Cialla Collio Friulano DOC 2022
    Ronchi di Cialla Collio Friulano DOC 2022
    This really is one of the most fascinating, inspiring, and singular estates of Italy. An incredible history that spans centuries and that in just over a quarter century has become a benchmark producer for some of the rarest wines in the world. A noble and impressive feat.

    The property with its steep terraces surrounded by chestnut, oak and wild cherry trees dates back to the Paiarchte of Aquiuleia and the Republic of Venice. Unusually, it sits in an Alpine valley that runs east-to-west rather than north-to-south 35 km’s from the sea and 35 km’s from the mountains which see harvest start a full two weeks later than anywhere else in Friuli while rarely exceeding alcohols of 12.5%

    Fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, preceded by two days' maceration on the skins; native yeasts; natural static decation. Ageing on lees for at least three months with frequent batonage. 25 - 30 year old vines.

    Funny I review this wine at the start of the Australian Spring. I always get from this, and other high quality Friulano, a distinct waft of acacia, a nectar-like pungency which is quite lovely. This sits alongside peach and lemon on both aromatic and palate. There's also a real raciness which keeps the wine pinging around the mouth - mineral, cut fruit, skins and almond all in the mix. Delicious wine (maybe my favourite) and has the acidity and flavour to pair up nicely to the local prosciutto. I was reading an old review of this wine by Ian D'Agata and he finished then by saying "knockout Friulano". Ditto for me on this wine. MICHAEL MCNAMARA
