<p>VENICA Ronco Del Cerà Sauvignon DOC Collio 2022The Sauvignon “Ronco del Cerà” is a particularly important wine for the winemakers of Dolegna, as it is evocative of the origins of the winery and historically linked to the four generations of the family.On 6 February 1930 Daniele Venica signed the preliminary purchase agreement for a farmhouse in Crò, a town located in the municipality of Dolegna del Collio, thus becoming the founder of the Venica family and founder of the company of the same name. At the time, the central body of the estate consisted of approximately 10 hectares including a rural house, stable, vineyards, fruit trees and surrounding arable land.</p><p><p>ColorThe green shades that appear in youth then turn into dazzling intense straw yellow shades.Olfactory notesThe different exposures to the North, South and South-East of the vineyards give a broad olfactory spectrum.
