L’Espresso’s 2025 Italian Wine Guide.

The Best White Wine in Italy is the F osarin 2022 , the excellent Collio Bianco DOC from the Ronco dei Tassi winery in Cormòns , one of the best-known and most appreciated in Friuli Venezia Giulia: this was decreed by the Guida Vini d’Italia de L’Espresso 2025 curated by Luca Gardini , who selected the 1000 most interesting Italian wines to offer a comprehensive overview of the peninsula’s excellences. The Fosarin 2022 won the coveted recognition as an “exemplary blend from a unique vineyard that succeeds in the feat of pricelessly representing the vocation of a territory.”

The award ceremony took place at the Arcimboldi theater in Milan. Enrico Coser , owner of Ronco dei Tassi with his family, collected the award. “I am honored and grateful to receive this award that gives us enthusiasm and energy to continue in the best way possible towards our goals – he said emotionally in front of an audience of a thousand people – Our company, founded 35 years ago by my parents and today carried forward by me and my brother Matteo, has always been aimed at the search for quality with the goal of bringing into the glass our nuance linked to the identity of our splendid territory, the Collio, extremely suited for white wines.”

In the Guide to Italian Wines, there are almost 5,000 wines tasted by Luca Gardini, who has thus selected 1,000 according to the criteria: cleanliness, recognisability, stylistic rigor, identity, drinkability, company philosophy, company reliability and consistency over time . Fosarin is a cuvée based on Friulano, Malvasia (two of the most interesting native Friulian wines) and Pinot Bianco . A wine that does not fear time and that refines with refinement over the years. Award-winning and highly appreciated both in Italy and abroad, it is a historic and iconic wine for Ronco dei Tassi, given that it was the first vineyard purchased by the Coser family and the first year of production was 1990. Straw yellow in colour, it is delicate, fine and elegant on the nose. Fresh and fruity when young, after the second year of life it becomes complex, broad and spicy. In the mouth it is soft, harmonious, full, with a good complexity linked to the three varieties that compose it. Its alcohol content is 13.5%. At 180 meters above sea level, on Mount Quarin overlooking Cormòns, the 2.5 hectare vineyard from which its grapes come has soil formed by sandstone marls of Eocene origin and the vines have an average age of 55 years . The grapes are harvested manually in the second ten days of September. The refinement until bottling (in December of the following year) takes place in steel tanks for the Friulano and Malvasia and in small oak barrels for the Pinot Bianco. The 2022 version is matured for 10 months in barrique.

Ronco dei Tassi, eco-sustainable viticulture Ronco dei Tassi , standard-bearer of the best winemaking in Friuli Venezia Giulia, is one of the historic and most appreciated wineries in Collio , the most prestigious wine-growing area in this region of North-East Italy. Founded in 1989 by Fabio (a well-known winemaker and consultant to important companies) and Daniela Coser , who were joined by their sons Enrico and Matteo , it now extends over an area of 50 hectares, of which 23 are cultivated with vineyards . This virtuous relationship between the woods and the vineyard area, cultivated with extremely environmentally friendly techniques, allows for the development of eco-sustainable viticulture, which the Cosers are absolutely committed to, to protect their consumers and to guarantee a future for their splendid territory, which they help to preserve. The company’s name derives from two of its peculiarities: the fact that the vineyards are arranged on terraces known as “ronchi” and that colonies of yew trees live here and, when the grapes are ripe, they are fond of the sweetest bunches: a sign that it is the right time to start harvesting them.

Numerous national and international awards for the Franciacorta of the Paladin family.

James Suckling , one of the most authoritative wine critics in the world, has included Franciacorta Millesimato Bio Brut Rosé 2020 by Castello Bonomi in his “Top 100 Wines of Italy 2024” , assigning a score of 96 points. Thus, the Franciacorta company of Casa Paladin , increasingly confirms itself among the protagonists of the Italian and international wine scene, collecting prestigious awards from industry critics.

Wine Enthusiast , one of the leading American magazines in the wine sector, has also widely recognized the company’s references. The Franciacorta Rosé Brut Millesimato 2020 reached 95 points, the Cruperdu 2019 94 points, while the Franciacorta Brut Nature Cuvée 1564 2017 93 points. Last year, the magazine had included CruPerdu Grande Annata 2016 in The Enthusiast 100: The Best Wines of 2023, one of the most influential rankings in the world of wine.

In Italy, however, the prestigious Three Glasses of the Gambero Rosso 2025 Italian Wine Guide were won by the Riserva Lucrezia Etichetta Rosé Extra Brut 2011 . Luciano Ferraro, in his Guide The Best 100 Wines and Winemakers of Italy 2025 , co-written with James Suckling, also gave ample space to Castello Bonomi, awarding the Franciacorta Cruperdu 2019 and the Franciacorta Rosé Brut Millesimato 2020. Also on the national scene, the Vinibuoni d’Italia 2025 guide awarded the Franciacorta Satèn with the Crown and 4 Stars , placing it in the Top 300. Furthermore, the Franciacorta Brut Nature Cuvée 1564 2017 received the prestigious 5 Grappoli from the Bibenda 2025 guide, a further sign of the quality of Castello Bonomi’s production. The Riserva Lucrezia Etichetta Rosé 2011 obtained the DoctorWine Face recognition of the Essential Guide to Italian Wines 2025 , which underlined its elegance and complexity. Furthermore, the awards received in the Vitae and Viniplus 2025 AIS guides continue to confirm the company among the best Franciacorta producers, consecrating its quality.

” We conclude this 2024 with great satisfaction,” declare Carlo and Roberto Paladin , “aware that every reference of Castello Bonomi represents our daily commitment to taking care of every detail. We are grateful for these achievements and ready to continue writing our history, with the same passion and dedication that has always distinguished us .”

These successes testify to the growing appreciation of the Paladin Family’s vision of Franciacorta, both in Italy and abroad. The awards are part of the renowned panorama of Franciacorta , recently named International Wine Region of the Year 2024 at Wine Enthusiast ‘s Wine Star Awards, underlining the reference role that the denomination has conquered in the global wine scene.
