| This
great Cabernet Sauvignon comes
from a historical vineyard named Ronco Poggiolo. |
| Various tastings and tests convinced us of the ideal marriage with the small grape Sangiovese from "Ronco delle Ginestre". |
| It is the fruit looked for and wanted
by my son Claudio and his wife, Veruska;
the reward of nature, this time generous beyond
all expectations for such a passionate commitment. |
