On rolling southern slopes, Roncicone is characterised by sandy soil with marine fossils and rounded stones. Harvested on 6 September, it was the first of Ricasoli’s crus to be picked. Led by macerated cherry, blackberry, vanilla and toast, it is the ripest of the lot and comes across as the most influenced by oak. Intriguing mineral notes lurk underneath. Structure-wise, the acidity is soft while the tannins are broad and grainy with a firm edge. Full, rich and approachable.
