Ronco dei Pini’s 35 acres of vineyards are located in the rolling hills of Friuli in the north-eastern part of Italy, bordering Slovania. More precisely the winery lies nestled in the hills between Prepotto and Spessa di Cividale with most of the grapes grown in the DOC area of Collio Goriziano. Ronco dei Pini is owned by Claudio and Giuseppe Novello, who took it over in 1997.

Claudio and Giuseppe, along with other leading wineries of Friuli, have turned away from the production of bland and indistinctive Pinot Grigio. These Friuli winemakers have returned to the old method of fermenting the grapes on their skins, which adds just a hint of color as well as boosting flavor. We are certain you will enjoy this change!
