How to read it
Taste-aroma intensityCalendula
The power and clarity of the aromas: how much the wine speaks to the nose.
SavourinessSalt
The salty, mineral note that makes the wine savoury and dynamic.
Acidity and freshnessApple
The freshness that cleanses the palate: more acidity, a livelier sip.
TanninsPersimmon
The astringency that dries the mouth, from the skins' tannins — like an unripe persimmon.
PersistenceStopwatch
How long the flavours linger after the sip: the length on the palate.
AlcoholWhiskey
The warmth and body of alcohol: the higher it is, the warmer and fuller the wine.
SoftnessHot chocolate
The enveloping roundness on the palate, without edges — soft as hot chocolate.
The producer
Ronco Scagnet
Tradizione, autenticità e rispetto della terra: il vino come espressione sincera del territorio.
Ronco Scagnet's winemaking philosophy favors vinification in steel and prolonged aging on fine yeasts to enhance the varietal integrity and expressive tension of each wine. Selected yeasts are used with precision, supporting a style that combines freshness and aromatic cleanliness, without sacrificing elegance and depth. Each bottle is born with the ambition to tell the identity of Collio in a direct way and without artifice: a wine that does not interpret but sincerely expresses the character of its terroir.
