Serena Palazzolo transformed Ronco del Gnemiz in the 1990s into a quality-focused estate atop the hill of Rosazzo in Friuli's Colli Orientali. The 16.5-hectare property, now managed with her husband Christian Patat and sons, is farmed organically without chemical interventions. Friuli's signature "Ponca" soils—alternating layers of marl and sandstone from the Eocene period—create what locals call the "taste of ponca," a tactile mineral-saline sensation unlike anywhere else. Each vineyard parcel is vinified separately as an individual cru. Iris undergoes whole-cluster pressing and fermentation in wood without malolactic, preserving crystalline acidity and mineral tension. The result is a notably restrained Sauvignon, departing from herbaceous regional examples: apricot, lime zest, subtle tropical notes, and that distinctive mineral-saline character. Sophisticated Friulian terroir expression rather than varietal showmanship.

Antonio Galloni

AG 91
"The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Iris is sharply focused, with a pulse of sour lemon and lime complemented by savory herbs and a hint of spice. It is soothingly round and pliant, with a pretty inner sweetness and fresh acidity propelling ripe pit fruits across the palate. The finish is medium in length, leaving a subtle citrus twang and nuances of mint." -Eric Guido
