Description
A new great white for Torre Rosazza. A blend that combines two indigenous grape varieties with two international ones. The balance between the acidity of the Ribolla and the vegetal and bitter almond notes of the Friulano combines with the elegance of the Pinot Bianco and the fruity and floral notes of the Sauvignon. A perfect combination of grape varieties, which the terroir of Torre Rosazza knows how to bring out to the best effect. Ronco delle Magnolie is a white wine that shows the determination to create wines capable of telling their own story and interpreting the contemporary experience of this region.

In the Colli Orientali del Friuli, and especially in Torre Rosazza, the growing of grapevines has a very ancient history. Already known in Roman times, grapes were also grown in the Middle Ages, along with other crops such as olives and grains. In those years, wine was a commodity or a bargaining chip that demonstrated a family’s wealth.
Noble elegance. The history of Torre Rosazza has been tied to the Antonini family, part of the Udine nobility, since the 1600s. Already the lords of the agricultural estate, the Antonini restored the medieval tower and built the villa that became their home in the hills: Turris Rosacea.
After the Antonini, Torre Rosazza passed to the De Marchi family. But more than any other event, the biggest mark on its history was left by the two World Wars. After the Battle of Caporetto, the estate came under Austrian control before returning to Italy at the end of the war. During the World War II it was the scene of fighting between the German occupation army and the Italian Resistance. Read more
