RONC DI VICO
Ronc di Vico was founded in 2004 from an idea of Gianni Del Fabbro who after studying the art of wine making with the help of a famous and highly qualified winemaker in Friuli. At first
it was a cultivated passion of leisure but with the passage of time it has become a daily task that involves the whole family and especially, his son Lodovico who works entirely within
the corporate aspect of running a vineyard to the painstaking care and pruning in vineyard.
Only 8 hectares are planted in the northern area of Colli Orientali del Friuli Doc, in Savorgnano del Torre. This is one of the grand cru of Friuli; the soil is made of layers of sandstones,
limestone, clay and marls of oceanic origin (between 34 and 55 million years ago). This area is cooler than the rest of the appellation, thus giving rise to slightly less alcoholic wines
and a just a bit more acidic. Ronc di Vico is cared for with strict organic regard to the work of winemaking. The production is small in comparison to the total area of the vineyards.
Of course, as a result, quality is the aim here in spite of the quantity produced.
Ronc di Vico wines are some of the most rewarding expressions of fruit and terroir coming out of Italy today.
