By its nature, the Red Reserve Ronc8tto is the soul of Roncotti. It is the perfect expression of the union between vineyard and man, between the strength of nature and the effort to control it, between the suffering of the vines perched on impervious terrain and the effort of the winemaker to take care of it, all awarded at end by the pleasure of tasting the fruit of this synergy.
Ronc8tto is our most valuable and representative wine, therefore its name comes from our hill. Produced with grapes partly subject to drying on the plant, that are: Nebbiolo, Croatina, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Barbera, Ughetta di Canneto, Uva rara and an eighth secret grape. The wine is an unrivaled red reserve, aged 24 months in barrique.
Thanks to the common origin from the same vineyard, the 8 important vines have been convinced to coexist from an early age, and the long aging in wooden barrels allows the grapes to express their potential and improve that of the others. And if you wait, you can hear their joyful shouting and even receive their hugs, a little vigorous and a little kind, however immense!
