This combination helps define a wine with good tension, finesse, and a strong territorial imprint. The harvest of Sangiovese took place on October 5, 2018, in a vintage that translates here into an elegant and rigorous setting. Vinification in stainless steel and aging for 22 months in 500-liter tonneaux, partly new and partly second-use, help build a complex yet measured sip, capable of uniting fruit, spice, and harmonious development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoncicone 2018 presents itself with an intense ruby red color, typical of a Sangiovese with character and good concentration.

On the palate, it is dry, articulated, and well-structured, with vibrant freshness, present yet elegant tannins, and a long, clean, and savory finish. The balance between energy and finesse makes this wine particularly suitable for gastronomic consumption and positive evolution in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eRoncicone 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs effectively with roasted red meats, Florentine steak, braised dishes, game, and oven-roasted lamb.
