Regional Wines: fragrant and smooth

Some years ago, the production of wine using local grape varieties resumed, and these wines have been acknowledged with the I.G.T. "Ronchi Varesini" regional label. The designation comes from the characteristic farming on terraces (known as "ronchi"), which has been widespread throughout Varese Province, since the time of Carlo Borromeo, in the 16th century.
