Il Roncal

Il Roncal Winery: Nestled Near a UNESCO Heritage Site

Il Roncal is a charming 20-hectare estate located on the scenic Montebello Hill, just 3 km from the historic center of Cividale del Friuli, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, Martina Moreale continues the vision of her late husband, Roberto, the winery's founder. With meticulous care for the land, the estate produces exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region. Guests can also enjoy a peaceful retreat at their on-site resort, perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of city life.

Wines That Capture the Essence of Friuli

Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and lush vineyards, Il Roncal offers a diverse range of wines, each showcasing its own unique characteristics. The dedication of the winegrowers, combined with years of technical expertise, results in wines that truly represent the region. The vineyards thrive in marly soil, benefiting from optimal sunlight exposure and a favorable microclimate, which contribute to the quality of the grapes.

Organic Practices for Quality Wines

Each year, the vineyards yield high-quality grapes used to craft full-bodied, aromatic wines. By employing manual and innovative techniques without chemicals, the winery maintains a commitment to natural practices and environmental preservation. Varieties such as Pinot Grigio, Friulano, Malvasia, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Pignolo flourish here. In the cellar, a blend of traditional methods and modern technology is used for vinification. Temperature-controlled fermentation preserves the grapes' natural properties, while aging in French oak barrels enhances the wines' complexity. A dedicated vault houses many of their vintage selections and labels, showcasing the winery's rich history.
