Vineyards
IN THE CRADLE OF GOOD WINE
The Ronchi di Manzano winery stands in the municipalty of Manzano and covers 60 hectares of hill, 40 of which surround the cellar. Inhabitants of this region refer to the chalky soil that characterise these terroirs as ponca, very rich in micro elements and mineral salts, this instils an incomparable character to the wines, it gives them distinctiveness.
Since the very beginning, as soon as Roberta has entered into the winery’s business, she has decided to replant all the oldest vineyards in order to increase their density per hectare. She has also decided to apply short pruning methods, as she believes that a high-quality wine can be only be obtained having high quality grapes. It is for this reason, that in the countryside, the vineyards are treated with less chemical products as possible and only strict hand picking is used for the harvest, this in order not to damage her precious grapes.
These are also the bases of the principles that characterize the winery’s corporate philosophy.
