Ribolla Gialla Collio DOC – A Wine of the Heart
In 2007 the two brothers Gianni and Giorgio Venica, current owners of the winery, dedicated this wine to their father Adelchi. A thank you to all that he had left them: from the winery to the vineyards, to the valuable teachings, not only of the craft of winemaking.
It is a wine of the heart and thus represents the bond and the passing of the baton from one generation of the Venica family to the next.
