2022 Ronco del Gnemiz 'Sol' Chardonnay

Ronco del Gnemiz, located in Friuli near the Slovenian border, is guided by Serena Palazzolo and Christian Patat, who focus on natural viticulture, low yields, and varietal purity to produce wines of exceptional quality. Grapes are harvested at full ripeness, highlighting rich, expressive fruit, while the whites combine bright acidity with careful, restrained use of oak. Sol exemplifies this approach: a Friulian white with a subtle Burgundian influence, showing fresh orchard fruits, white pepper, and a touch of butter, all framed by a slate-like minerality. Harmonious, balanced, and precise, it is a wine that is immediately approachable yet capable of graceful development with age, reflecting both site and meticulous winemaking.
