Our path brings us to Contrada Ronzini in the comune of Trecastagni. Here lies three terraced vineyards covering (approximately) 6 hectares. The white grapes (used for Pianta production) grow on a crater dating back to 125 BC. That sounds cool, right? But this is all the information I have about this wine.

A punchy bouquet of musk, crushed apple seeds, fried almonds, hay, peach, smoked chees and rust. It offers a round, oily and smoked mouthfeel (don’t imagine the last part). The aftertaste is long and persistent. Complex yet heavy and pushy.
