Russolo

The vineyards of Azienda Agricola Russolo are located on a high gravelly plain at the foothills of the Alps. This unique terroir is subject to rather large day and night temperature variations, ensuring the grapes to slowly develop rich varietal aromas and flavours while retaining fresh mineral acidity. This certainly sets the wines from Russolo apart from other producers, although it is the combination with Iginio and Rino Russolo's dedicated work in both vineyard and winery that has led to an impressive progression in the quality of their wines. The extensive range is an eclectic mix between native Friulian and French varieties, the latter grown successfully in the region since the 18^th and 19^th century. While barriques are thoughtfully used for the production of some of their wines, the Ronco Calaj wines are stylistically defined by the sole use of stainless steel tanks, ultimately capturing the terroir in the bottle. http://www.russolo.it/
