1996 Ronchi di Cialla Ciallarosso Burlotto we saw the last rain

we saw the last rain before harvest time

The grapes are transported to the winery in traditional wicker baskets before being hand sorted on the selection table

careful green harvesting and exploiting the hours of sunlight and heat

This wine always expresses itself with ripe red fruit

The Schiava is harmoniously rounded with light tannins: its pleasant freshness makes it an excellent wine for drinking on any occasion

1996 Ronchi di Cialla Ciallarosso Burlotto we saw the last rainCiallarosso is a traditional blend of Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso and Schioppettino, it wonderfully combines the structure of Refosco and elegance of Schioppettino. A powerful but elegant wine suitable for excellent aging thanks to its tannins and acidity. It is perfect with white and red meats, and vegetable based dishes. 1996 was generally a warm vintage. Rich and broad wine, good tannic base and dark fruit.
