ABOUT THIS WINE
Il Roncal Argenteum Spumante Extra Dry is a white sparkling wine from Azienda Agricola IL Roncal, a family estate situated on Montebello Hill in the Colli Orientali del Friuli region of Italy. The estate's name, 'Roncal,' reflects its terraced vineyards, a characteristic of the landscape. The winery, now managed by Martina Moreale, honors the legacy of her late husband, Roberto, by combining traditional winemaking with modern techniques. The vineyards benefit from favorable microclimatic conditions and a marl-sandstone soil composition, contributing to the cultivation of various grape varietals. This Spumante Extra Dry is produced using the Glera grape, common for this style of wine in Italy.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Il Roncal Argenteum Spumante Extra Dry is produced using the Glera grape. The winemaking process involves secondary fermentation, likely in an autoclave via the Charmat method, to create its sparkling character. Fermentation is carried out at controlled temperatures. The winery's philosophy combines traditional techniques with modern innovation, aiming to respect the land and its terroir. Harvests are intentionally delayed to ensure grape ripeness.
