The Wine

In 2007, the two brothers Gianni and Giorgio Venica, the current owners of the winery, dedicated this wine to their father Adelchi. A thank you for everything he had left them: from the cellar to the vineyards, to the precious teachings, not only of the winemaking trade.
This is a wine of the heart that therefore represents the bond and the passing of the baton from one generation of the Venica family to the next.
The vineyard and the vine
Meden
Wine of the heart
With the purchase of 5 hectares in the locality of Meden, the production of Ribolla Gialla, an ancient Friuli grape variety that well represents the passing of the baton from one generation to the next, is increased.
With the 2007 vintage, Gianni and Giorgio dedicate “L’ Adelchi” to their father, a thank you for the precious assets he received, including the intangible ones enclosed in the treasure chest of rural wisdom, where human values and respect for nature come first.
The vineyard
Ribolla Gialla, a white berry grape variety, is autochthonous from Friuli and it’s typical for its bunches which, when completely ripen, acquire a particularly warm and intense color, almost golden. From here the attribute “gialla” (= yellow) in the name of the variety.
It is a rather ancient kind of vine with not very well-defined origins but anyhow present in Friuli-Venezia Giulia since the XIII-XIV century. Some argue that it was already grown in the region in the Roman times, others say that this variety came from the Ionian Islands, passing through Dalmatia, at the time part of the Republic of Venice.
Our Ribolla Gialla vineyards are located within the DOC Collio territory.
