Reviewed October 2025The subtleties of the 2023 Sauvignon Ronco del Cerò keep this glass in constant motion, impressing with notes of lemon oil, sweet smoke and dusty sage. It is spicy within, with a citrus twang up front and perfumed inner florals arching across a core of tart orchard fruits, adding pinching tension toward the close. Hints of green melon curl the tongue as the 2023 finishes long, leaving a minty freshness and the palate salivating. (EG)
Notes
Ronco del Cerò links Venica’s Sauvignon to the family’s origins in Dolegna del Collio. Its name recalls the farmhouse for which Daniele Venica signed a purchase agreement in 1930. The fruit comes from Collio hillside vineyards with varied exposures and marly sandstone soils. The 2023 harvest fell in the second and third weeks of September. The grapes received around eighteen hours of skin contact under oxygen protection. About 10% of the wine matured in large wooden casks, with the balance in stainless steel, before blending and bottling in March and July 2024.
