Friulano 'Refuso' Ronc Platat 2022

The young winery Ronc Platat presents the Friulano "Refuso", a white wine characterised by its complexity and richness, characteristics that are partly due to the great age of the vines from which the grapes come. The Ronc Platat winery, which was officially founded in 2021 in San Giovanni al Natisone, is run by Tommaso Zanuttini, a winemaker with a legal background who studied in Milan. After a period in a law firm, the young Tommaso decided to change his life completely by renting some vineyards in the Colli Orientali del Friuli region and starting to produce wine. As the business grew, the winemaker also obtained a second degree in oenology.

The Ronc Plat Friulano "Refuso" is made exclusively from grapes of the autochthonous grape variety of the same name, which come from four different small plots with vines up to 80 years old in the municipalities of Buttrio and Manzano on the southern border of the Colli Orientali del Friuli. The vines are cultivated according to the rules of organic farming and the grapes are harvested entirely by hand. The grapes from each parcel are vinified together through gentle pressing and alcoholic fermentation of the must in French oak barrels with several passes, in which the wine matures for 9 months until the final bottling.

The Friulano "Refuso" from the Ronc Platat winery has a straw-yellow colour with golden reflections. Seductive aromas of nectarine, lime and white flowers emerge from the glass, combined with spicy nuances and mineral notes reminiscent of wet stone. On the palate, the soft, round sensation is well supported by the powerful freshness and the lingering spicy-mineral trace.
