Ronco della Chiesa is Nicola Manferrari's statement with Friulano, the grape variety that has made Borgo del Tiglio's reputation. This wine comes from a single vineyard in Brazzano, hand-tilled in the late 1950s, where brown marl soil and a mild microclimate sheltered from cold northeast winds allow the varietal to achieve remarkable complexity. Only 2,600 bottles are produced annually, aged 10 months in barrique at 13.5% alcohol. The 2023 vintage shows intense, clean varietal character with initial tropical notes that evolve through pear, apricot, and ripe peach, before drifting into mint, chamomile, and hints of green citrus. This is benchmark Friulano—proof that a single grape, with patient winemaking and the right site, can achieve sophistication that rivals Burgundian complexity.

"More savory than sweet, the 2023 Ronco della Chiesa opens with a burst of crushed stone and dried herbs, giving way to peach skins and mint. It is soothingly round and pliant with ripe pit fruits contrasted by a reverberation of salty minerals and brisk acidity. The 2023 tapers off with a spicy resonance, mixing ginger with sour lime as the palate is left salivating. Nicely done." —Eric Guido

More about Borgo del Tiglio

Nicola Manferrari trained as a pharmacist, took over the family vineyard when his father died, and bottled his first wine in 1982. Now considered one of Friuli's original trailblazers, he makes brilliant, saline-infused whites that define what Collio can be. Collio Ronco della Chiesa Friulano—from vines planted 70+ years ago—elevated Friulano production from industrial to artisanal. Elevation through restraint.
