Intense straw yellow color. The different northern, southern and south-eastern exposures of the vineyards confer a broad olfactory spectrum. The southern orientation and the prolonged afternoon sunshine give clear warm and fruity notes of yellow peach and melon, while the cooler climates give classic and elegant vegetal notes such as the aroma of elderflower. Pleasant freshness in the mouth supported by a savory and mineral vein with fruity returns. Great balance and long taste-olfactory persistence. Pair with vegetable candies, grilled prawns and lime fried squash flowers, baked scallops au gratin, or salmon tagliolini with herbs.
Vinous

Dusty, floral and sweetly satisfying, the 2021 Sauvignon Ronco del Cerò opens with incense and exotic spice, giving way to grapefruit and sour melon zests. This is deeply textural yet focused on purity, with cooling minerality and herbal-tinged orchard fruits motivated by zesty acidity. It leaves the cheeks puckered while tapering off with a twang of sour citrus offset by sweet chamomile. The Ronco del Cerò is so pretty today, yet the best is undoubtedly yet to come.

Candied orange zest, fresh wildflowers and crushed rock leap from the glass of this Sauvignon Blanc. Clean and fresh on the palate, the supertasty wine offers notes of mandarin orange, sweet lime and passion fruit balanced by well-defined minerality.
