Its distinctive blend of Sangiovese, Marzemino and Cabernet Sauvignon brings together the character of Lombardy with a bold, structured style from a region better known for white wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExpect a deep, intense colour and aromas of black cherry and ripe blueberry, layered with balsamic notes and a hint of jam. On the palate, the wine is concentrated and powerful, with lively acidity and velvety tannins bringing balance to its rich fruit and lingering finish.\n\nIts structure and maturation give it scope to develop further in bottle, though no specific drinking window is provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from hillside vineyards in Lugana di Sirmione, near Desenzano on Lake Garda’s southern shore. A mild-winter, cool-summer microclimate and morainic soils of clay, gravel, limestone and sand shape the fruit. Vines are trained using Guyot and spur-pruned systems, with selected bunches harvested in late September. Long maceration on the skins takes place in stainless steel, followed by malolactic fermentation in wood for 15 months and a further 10 months of maturation to bring the blend together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe with grilled or roasted red meats, game, or richly flavoured dishes that can stand up to the wine’s ripe fruit and structure. A serving temperature of around 16–18°C should show it well. Give it time to breathe before serving; decanting for about an hour can help the aromas open, especially while the 2023 vintage is young.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCa’ dei Frati makes Ronchedone as an ambitious expression of red wine from the Brescia side of Lake Garda, an area historically associated with white wines. Rooted in the morainic soils of Lugana di Sirmione, the blend of Sangiovese, Marzemino and Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the producer’s approach to the region’s distinctive lakeside microclimate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ca dei Frati","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55068325544273,"sku":"XW-62680","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/ca-dei-frati-ronchedone-magnum-2023","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
