Ronchi Di Cialla's Ciallabianco is a celebration of the identity and richness of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, a region known for its white wines of extraordinary quality and character. Produced by a winery that has always placed particular emphasis on the valorization of native varieties, this wine stands out for its ability to embody the freshness, elegance and aromatic complexity typical of the Cialla terroir.

Ciallabianco is an expertly balanced blend of native and international grapes, selected to express a rich and varied aromatic profile. The winemaking takes place with the aim of preserving the varietal notes and the freshness of the fruit, thanks also to the use of stainless steel tanks which keep the organoleptic characteristics of the grapes unaltered.

Visually, it presents a bright straw yellow color, which heralds the liveliness and freshness of the sip. On the nose, the bouquet is a mix of aromas ranging from white pulp fruit, such as pear and apple, to floral nuances and a light mineral touch, which together create a captivating and inviting olfactory experience.

In the mouth, Ciallabianco surprises with its perfect balance between lively acidity and body, with a texture that envelops the palate leaving a sensation of fullness and persistence. The aromatic complexity is expressed through fresh and clean flavours, with a long and pleasantly aromatic finish.

This wine lends itself magnificently to a wide variety of gastronomic combinations, from seafood cuisine to light first courses, from risottos to preparations based on vegetables and white meats. It is also an excellent aperitif, capable of stimulating the palate and gracefully accompanying the start of any banquet.

The Ciallabianco by Ronchi Di Cialla is, finally, a demonstration of the winery's commitment to producing wines that are an authentic expression of the Cialla territory, with a strong identity and a quality that tells the story and passion for viticulture of this particular area of Friuli.

Led the recovery of Schioppettino, bringing it back from near extinction. Official cru "Cialla" recognized by ministerial decree.

Winery featured by importers and international technical data sheets.
Winery history
The Rapuzzi family founded the estate in 1970 in the small Cialla valley, restoring local vineyards and helping to save Schioppettino when the variety was nearly lost. In the 1970s and 1980s the winery perfected the recovery of vine cuttings, produced the first vintages of Schioppettino and received recognition that brought Cialla’s wines to international auctions. The denomination and boundaries of the Cialla cru were officially established by ministerial acts and regulations in subsequent years, consolidating the estate’s reputation as a custodian of Friulian indigenous varieties.
Production philosophy
The estate works exclusively with native grape varieties, favoring controlled yields, selective harvesting and minimal agronomic interventions. In the cellar, winemaking is kept as natural as possible and wines undergo extended ageing — including in wood — to achieve long-lived wines with a strong expression of terroir. Biodiversity protection and low-impact practices are integral to the production method.
Terroir and vineyards
The winery is located in the Cialla valley, a small hilly amphitheatre overlooking the Colli Orientali del Friuli, characterized by a tempered microclimate between the Adriatic Sea and the Julian Alps and by marly, well-stratified soils that favor the cultivation of local indigenous varieties. The area is officially recognized as the cru CIALLA for certain traditional varieties.
Awards and recognitions
Risit d'Aur for the revival of Schioppettino; 'Biodiversity Friendly' certification; some historic vintages auctioned by Christie's.
