"Ronco del Gnemiz has emerged as one of the top producers in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, for whites and reds alike. “San Zuan” is a barrel-fermented expression of old-vine Friulano, one of the most profound and layered interpretations of this grape on the market. Grown in the eastern hills (“Colli Orientali”) of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the vineyards that supply this wine are roughly equidistant from the Julian Alps and the Adriatic Sea. This push-pull of Alpine and Adriatic currents is the key to the region’s success with white wines: Vines are refreshed every evening, which lengthens the growing season to heighten aromatics and preserve acidity, but there’s also plenty of warmth and sun to deliver power and ripeness."
