More questions

The Friuli Colli Orientali DOC Ronco della Torre of Torre Rosazza elegantly expresses the unique character of the Friuli territory, famous for the quality of its white and red wines. This prestigious wine is born from vineyards in the Colli Orientali, an area known for the complexity and aromatic depth granted by the microclimate and soils rich in marl and sandstones.

The Ronco della Torre stands out for the harmony between freshness and structure, thanks to careful vinification that enhances the native varieties almost always cultivated organically. The aging in wooden barrels enhances its delicate and complex aromas, with notes of ripe fruit, white flowers, and light spicy hints. On the palate, it is balanced, with good persistence and a pleasant mineral vein that makes it ideal to pair with fish dishes, fresh cheeses, and flavorful first courses from the regional cuisine.

The Magnum version of this wine represents a refined choice for those seeking a longer and convivial tasting experience, perfect for special occasions.
