The history and terroir of Ronco del Gnemiz
The Ronco Del Gnemiz Winery is located on the Rosazzo hill in the municipality of San Giovanni al Natisone in the province of Udine, on the Colli Orientali del Friuli.
This area, spectacular for its landscapes, with its typical terraced land, for the richness of the production of its land and for its history rich in tradition, includes the largest number of native vines in Italy. In several decades, the viticulture of these areas has considerably strengthened, establishing itself on a national and international level.

The approximately 30 hectares of which 16.5 are planted with vineyards and organic farming, include plants over 60 years of age, which rest on soils characterized by an alternation of marl and sandstone which, together with the climate mitigated by the Julian Prealps and the beneficial influence of the sea, create microclimates particularly favorable to a highly qualified viticulture. The grapes grown are Friulano, Sauvignon and Chardonnay for the whites and Merlot, Cabernet and Schioppettino for the reds.

Palazzolo ”, of great volume, finesse and elegance, or the monovarietal Merlot“ Sol ”, an explosion of red fruits, soft and enveloping.
