Roncicone 2018

Tasting note

Deep ruby red. Intense notes of sour cherry and wild berries, rosemary, leather and lavender. Pleasingly full on the palate, with tightly knit tannins and extraordinary length.

Terroir

The vineyard of the same name is characterised by marine deposits of sand and rounded pebbles, with clay-rich layers below. Marine fossils and lignite occur at the surface. The gently sloping sites lie in the centre of the estate, south of the calcareous clay soils.

Food pairings

Braised dishes, beef, grilled meats, risotto, mature cheese
