Venica & Venica - 'Collio Sauvignon Ronco delle Mele' 2023

Venica & Venica is one of the most famous wineries of Collio specialized in white wines, Venica & Venica has always pursued the road of excellence, respecting tradition and valuing its origins and values. A border area between Friuli Venezia Giulia and Slovenia. Here there are vineyards that climb up several hills, each one of which, given the different altitudes and exposures, has various microclimates that provide and guarantee incredible complexity to the wines.

Among the approximately 40 hectares of vines, most of them (about 85%) are white berried, and each one has its specific peculiarities for position, morphological conformation, exposure to sunlight and breezes, presence of surrounding areas with forests, humidity, slope. Every single hectare is unique and sometimes several different microclimates can occur even on the same hill.

Following the harvest, the Sauvignon grapes are macerated for about 20 hours at a temperature of 11/12°C in specific containers, protected from oxygen using innovative methods that involve recycling the fermentation carbon dioxide. This is done in order to reduce the use of antioxidants. Approximately 20% of the wine ages in large wooden barrels of 20/27 hectoliters, while the remaining portion is aged in stainless steel containers.
