Ronco
delle Ginestre is shaped as a basin, as a small
amphitheatre overlooking the valley. It is
situated at an altitude of about 300 mts, it has
a very steep slope and it is surrounded by broom
bushes and olive groves. Ronco
delle Ginestre is one of the Estate’s historical
Sangiovese based wine. |
An only clone, selected in
the ’70s, with small bunch of grapes,
small grapes with thick skin. Factors as these that
in most cases allow to reach an optimal level of
maturation. Strong, powerful and sober, Ronco
delle Ginestre is son of this harsh land, generous
and wild that climbs the surrounding mountains. |
