Tasting Notes: The Ronchi di Cialla Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso is immediately voluminous, warm and well balanced; the mineral complexity is enriched by sweet tannins, which enhances its verticality. At the rear of the mouth, the sensation is full and fragrant.It is potent, rich, modern and at the same time austere; full of powerful structure and a character of great elegance.
Estate History: The Ronchi di Cialla winery was founded by Dina and Paolo Rapuzzi in 1970. With the help of Bernardo Bruno, the mayor of Prepotto, the Rapuzzi's found a small plot of forgotten native Schioppettino vines. The Cialla estate took cuttings from the best shoots and cultivated a vineyard of 3,500 vines. The first vintage of their Schioppettino was released in 1977. Now, more than forty years later, Schioppettino has regained popularity, thanks in large part to the Cialla estate.
