Aged in 25-hectoliter oval botte for a year, the Ronco del Gelso 2018 Isonzo del Friuli Rive Alte Chardonnay Siet Vignis opens to orchard fruit, apple, quince and toasted almond. This is a lean to medium-bodied white with enough textual richness and dimension to pair with a spicy chicken curry. Fruit is sourced from the 2.5-hectare site with gravel alluvial soils. Some 18,000 bottles were made.
