30 Years of Ronco delle Mele.
The 2025 harvest has a special flavor. This year we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Ronco delle Mele, the Sauvignon that since 1995 has told the story of our home, our roots, and our future.
Already in 1984, after carefully studying the pedoclimatic characteristics of the Cerò hill, we chose the northwest exposure as the ideal site for white wines with a strong aromatic profile. From there, the dream of the “Ronco delle Mele Project” took shape, leading to the first vintage in 1995.
The wine rightfully takes its charming and evocative name from the vineyard itself from which the grapes originate. Even today, along the slopes and headlands, apple trees planted by grandfather Daniele remain, a testament to the traditional mixed farming system in which vines were trained to fruit tree trunks, once used as natural trellises for the vineyard rows.
The roots of our family’s bond with Sauvignon grapes thus run deep: a thread spanning generations, a story renewed vintage after vintage.
Harvest Diary
On August 19, on a bright summer’s day, Pinot Grigio in Ruttars was the first to open the 2025 harvest.
By now, it’s a certainty: our Pinot Grigio from Ruttars always ripens first!
As always, we rely on the wisdom of the vine, which knows the exact moment to offer its fruit. Man cannot impose a calendar: he can only embrace, with respect, the rhythm of nature.
The analyses of sugars, acidity, and pH show an excellent level of grape ripeness, thanks to the climatic conditions: after the heat peaks at the end of June came a balanced July with seasonal temperatures and regular rainfall, without extreme events. All of this gives us high hopes for a great vintage.
Every harvest is a gift: a weave of memory and hope, of labor and celebration.
The 2025 harvest is even more so: a tribute to the past and a promise for the future.
