Ronco del Gelso Wine Home Delivery
Wine Item
Its harvest is postponed as long as possible to take advantage of a particular characteristic of Pinot Grigio grapes, which lose water and weight if left on the vine when ripe, concentrating the fruity notes. The most interesting vintages are those with hot, warm days around the harvest, which yield a balanced Pinot Grigio Sot Lis Rivis with low acidity and good body supported by richness of flavour. The alcohol content is always high, but never burning, and confers sweetness in conjunction with the prominent fruit. The citrusy nose is unusual for a Pinot Grigio and is echoed on the palate. Do not expect a simple wine, as many do from this variety.
AM003 Ronco del Gelso Cabernet Franc DOC 2008 $175
It is a grassy wine without powerful tannins; it is aged on the lees for a year in large barrels to smooth the rough edges of its impetuous nature.
AM004 Ronco del Gelso Sintesi del Capitoli (Merlot & Pignolo) 2008 $217
It is full and beefy, characterised by sweet tannins and an elegant spicy nose, while the palate is creamy, deep and concentrated. It is an ambitious, aristocratic wine.
AM005 Ronco del Gelso Traminer Passito IGT 2010 (375ml) $232
It is a dessert wine or one for drinking at the end of a meal. It is an excellent accompaniment to soft cheeses and goat's cheese and is also very good with foie gras.
