La Roncaia
La Roncaia is a renowned winery in the Colli Orientali of Friuli, founded in 1998 by the Fantinel family in Cergneu di Nimis, starting from the acquisition of an estate with a thirty-year history. Experience, professionalism, passion, and the great potential of the territory have allowed this production reality to stand out and excel for fresh, territorial, and very expressive wines, which have become a reference point in Italy and are increasingly sought after in international markets.
The La Roncaia winery has masterfully interpreted the highly vocated territory of the gentle hilly ridges of the Colli Orientali, characterized by clay and marl soils known as “flysch”. Among the excellences, the sweet wines of Friuli and the prestigious expressions of the Ramandolo denomination stand out, interpreted by the winery with great authority. The cultivated grape varieties are predominantly indigenous, such as Refosco, Friulano, and Ribolla Gialla, but international varieties like Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, perfectly acclimatized to these hills, are also present. In the winery, favor controlled temperature fermentations in steel, and any aging is carried out slowly in oak barrels.
The wines of La Roncaia interpret the Colli Orientali with fidelity, rigor, and elegance, contributing to the fame of this territory in the world. The whites are characterized by freshness, minerality, and precision, while the reds are full-bodied, soft, and rich in substance. All labels manifest an impeccable production style that guarantees reliability and quality and is increasingly appreciated. The sweet wines produced stand out like bright jewels: Picolit and Ramandolo, capable of offering unique, seductive, and sweet emotions. “The prestige of an emotion” is the slogan of the winery that helps to understand the mission of the Fantinel family: to aim for perfection and produce prestigious wines that can evoke emotions.
