SAUVIGNON RONCO DELLE MELE

D.O.C. Collio

Ronco delle Mele means "hill of the apples." The in early 1940s, after a big landslide that is still visible today, great-grandfather Daniele planted apple-trees to stabilize the soil and avoid further erosion. Years of this influence made the vineyard a special organic environment where vines are particularly healthy and clearly express the soul of this land. This wine really tells you from where it comes from
