Vinification

Merlot Riserva from Ronco Severo goes through extended maceration and ageing in oak barrels, giving the wine structure and depth. The style aims at the terroir expressiveness of the Colli Orientali del Friuli, with an emphasis on elegance rather than power. The moderate alcohol underlines the cuvée's freshness and balance.

Winery Story

Ronco Severo is a small family estate in Collio and the Colli Orientali del Friuli, founded by Stefano Novello. The winery is known for its commitment to organic farming and minimal cellar intervention. The wines stand out for a pronounced terroir character and a delicate winemaking style.

Vineyard Story

The vineyards lie on the hills characteristic of Friuli, on ponca soils — a mix of sandstone and marl that builds the mineral foundation of the wines. The zone's microclimate, with the influence of the Adriatic and the Alps, provides significant diurnal temperature swings that favour the preservation of freshness and aromatic complexity. Merlot here takes on grassy and earthy notes typical of the north-Italian terroir.
