Wine Details

Ronco Dei Tassi Friulano Collio DOC

Fruilano (the locals still call it Tocai despite the 2007 ruling to ban the use of “Tocai” on the label) is the Fruili region’s most important grape. This white wine is intense and fruity on the nose with elegant perfumes of acacia flowers. In the mouth, it is fleshy and rich with a creamy texture and distinct varietal notes of citrus, pear, liquorice and almond and the classic minerality of the Collio.

Ronco Dei Tassi Friulano Collio DOC 2023

James Suckling (91)- "A delicate and intense wine with a layered nose and a smooth palate. Peach skin, peach tea, spring flowers, ferns and good intensity. An almost oily texture with vibrancy, a medium body and long, refreshing acidity."

Ronco Dei Tassi Friulano Collio DOC 2023

Vinous Media (90)- "The 2023 Friulano is a total pleasure on the senses, with a vibrant bouquet of green melon, spearmint and hints of kiwi wafting up from the glass. It is soft and round with ripe stone fruits and crisp mineral tones propelled by a core of brisk acidity. Sweetly focused yet beautifully balanced, this tapers off long and potent yet spry, leaving a candied lime twang that refreshes the senses."
