The name
ronco is Friulian for 'hillside, terraced vineyard'. Ronco dei
Tassi, established in 1989, is named after the badgers (tassi) in this little
nook of paradise in the heart of the Collio, bordering the splendid Plessiva
National Park. Fabio Coser's earlier career as a consulting oenologist allowed
him privileged knowledge of the area's terroir so that by the time he chose
a property of his own, he already knew the Collio like the back of his hand. The
calcareous soil is laboriously terraced to optimise exposure and drainage, and
yields superb indigenous varieties, expertly tutored by Fabio and son Enrico
into stylish and characterful wines.
