In the area where the first morainic hills rise, red wines of considerable thickness and power are also obtained and Ronchedone is the absolute demonstration of this. Strongly desired from the moment it was felt that certain areas and certain microclimates were suitable for obtaining a wine like this. Marzemino, Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet make it a wine that cannot go unnoticed. The nose is very rich with notes of red fruits, macerated blueberries, morello cherries in alcohol, balsamic and jammy hints. On the palate it is powerful and incisive, clean, savoury, with a fine acidity, a sign of the Benaco soil. Ideal with red meats with medium and long cooking, game birds and fur, mature cheeses, rich pasta dishes and soups with meat. Technical data
