Ronco del Frassino was born on the steepest slopes of the Collio, an area of excellence for the production of white wines, as well as the pride of the entire Italian peninsula. Here, the cultivation of the vine dates back to Roman times and has given life, over time, to some of the most famous white wines in Italy, such as those based on Ribolla Gialla . In the 19th century, with the resumption of production activities linked to viticulture, an attempt was made to increase the deserved fame of these products, which had found much of their fortune in the climate. The quality of the grapes has always depended on the hilly conformation of this crescent located west of Gorizia and the Slovenian border, mostly arranged according to the east-west direction and with a favorable altitude not exceeding 300 meters. The name of the estate derives from its terraced vineyards, called steps or "ronchi", which are surrounded by suggestive woods of ash trees. The watercolor labels, on the other hand, recall the life of the past: portraits of light moments of daily and family life.
