Roncaiolo -Montecrocetta 2023

Speaking of a company in Negrar di Valpolicella (Verona) and writing about aging wines, one might have expected a

story about Amarone. But no. Dr. Paolo Zardini has decided to present his wine, the result of years of research and

experimentation: Il ROCCHETTO. A special wine which, as he himself describes: «is a complex single-variety wine,

full-bodied, with an intense ruby ​​red color and an aroma of wild blackberry and spices».

In the heart of Tuscany’s Maremma zone, on volcanic soils, the Vermentino grape shows at its very best in this zesty and lively wine.

Questo vino è il frutto di un’attenta scelta dei migliori grappoli del vitigno Garganega, raccolti a mano nei propri vigneti in Monteforte d’Alpone (VR) terra del Soave. Dopo un breve periodo d’appassimento, fino ai primi di novembre, l’uva viene vinificata con passione da Stefano Posenato.

TASTING NOTES

Color: bright golden yellow

Bouquet: delicious aromas of hawthorn and acacia, cedar and yellow grapefruit, alongside mineral and saline notes. Blossomy note lingering on the finish.

Taste: fresh and savory on the palate with citrus aftertaste. Good persistence.

Un vino che nasce dalla bellezza del paesaggio a Podere Casisano, circondato da boschi secolari, a 480 metri di altitudine, sulle colline a sud-est di Montalcino.

Flagship wine of Poggio al Tufo project, it is the first wine made by the Tommasi family in Tuscany Maremma. A blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvingon with refined and warm features, which fascinates for liveliness and elegance.

Rompicollo is a Tuscan blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon from the famous volcanic tuff soils in the wild Maremma countryside, in what can be considered Italy’s far west.

Pinot Noir, a wine developed in detail, sculpted with devotion and care in the pursuit of the perfect balance.

It expects from the enologist the same mastery of a sculptor as scrupulous as talented and creative: his majesty the Pinot Noir is demanding, though, in the end, it gives back as much.

Its aromas and flavors bring out an elegance that few other wines can boast. A refinement which materializes in the cherry red, moulded in the rich minerality of the grapes. The work of research and modeling is intense: the result is a work of art.
