SB Venica & Venica Ronco del Cero
Regular price $26.99The Sauvignon "Ronco del Cerò", therefore, is a particularly important wine for the winemakers of Dolegna, as it is evocative of the origins of the cellar and historically linked to the four generations of the family.
On 6 February 1930 Daniele Venica signed the preliminary purchase agreement for a farmhouse in Cero', a town located in the municipality of Dolegna del Collio, thus becoming the progenitor of the Venica family and founder of the company of the same name.

Harvest
Grapes harvested by hand and destemmed between 3 and 22 September 2021. Note therefore the difference of no less than 20 days in the ripening times of the various vineyards, due to the age of the vines, exposure and altitude.
Vinification | Refinement
After harvesting, the Sauvignon grapes are macerated for about 18/20 hours at a temperature of 10*/12° C in special containers, protected from oxygen with innovative systems by recycling their own fermentation carbon, in order to reduce the supply of antioxidants. The must ferments and ages on the lees for 6 months, partly in large 20/27 HL wooden barrels and partly in steel containers.
Bottling
The wine is then blended and bottled at full moons between March and July 2022.

Olfactory notes
The different exposures to the North, South and South-East of the vineyards give a broad olfactory spectrum. The southern orientation and the prolonged afternoon sunrays give evident warm and fruity notes of yellow peach and melon; while colder climates give classic and elegant vegetal notes such as the aroma of elderflowers.
Note gustative
Pleasant freshness in the mouth supported by a savory and mineral vein with fruity returns. Of great balance and long taste-olfactory persistence.
