Description
What kind of wine it is
Roncalto by Livon is a dry white wine that clearly expresses the character of the Ribolla Gialla grape variety. In the glass, it displays a bright straw-yellow hue, hinting at a fragrant aromatic profile where notes of white peach, citron zest and floral hints of wisteria and jasmine intertwine, enriched by nuances of aromatic herbs. On the palate, it stands out for its remarkable balance, supported by a lively acidity and an elegant structure. The pronounced savoury component leads the sip towards a clean and persistent finish, offering a taut and refreshing drink.
Where it comes from
This white wine is born in the heart of Friuli, within the Collio, an area historically renowned for the cultivation of white grape varieties. The Livon winery tends its vineyards with great attention to the specific characteristics of the Dolegnano territory. The Roncalto cru comes from a selected plot, situated in an ideal microclimate that encourages the development of aromas and aromatic complexity. Production focuses on territorial identity, delivering in the glass the authentic Friulian expression through a rigorous interpretation of the varietal.
How it is produced
The creation of this wine is based on the principles of sustainable viticulture, respecting the natural rhythms of the vine and preserving the integrity of the fruit. In the winery, vinification enhances the aromatic clarity, avoiding the use of barrels to maintain the freshness and tension of the Ribolla Gialla on the palate. This process gives it an excellent propensity for ageing in the bottle, allowing the profile to refine beautifully over time. At the table, it proves extremely versatile, pairing perfectly with seafood dishes, fried fish, cheeses and light vegetarian preparations.
