The Chardonnay “Siet Vignis” wine is produced by one of the most important and famous wineries in the Isonzo area. Founded about twenty years ago, Ronco del Gelso cultivates 26 hectares of vineyards, which slope from the hilly area of Cormons down to the plain of the Isonzo. This is a very suitable area for vine cultivation, due to the presence of alluvial soils, lean and rich in stones and pebbles.
